I'm using a Pro, judging from my dmesg, with a 3.0_BETA which I CVS'ed just
a few days ago. The trouble is not with the window title itself, though, those
work fine (though Ghostscript does have a glitch where the subscript characters
of one text become huge, *that* might be Xrender - have to check that out with
some different fonts); the problem is that vertical stripes are appearing to
the left and right of the title (but the window icon and the max/min/closing
buttons are all right). It's not a particularly big problem though, mostly 
aesthetic :)
