It looks as though I can work around this by destroying the popup when
it is unmapped.  There is a noticeable performance hit, but at least
the basic behavior is correct.

I really don't know what is going wrong here.  One thing that I noticed
is that my popup routine was not being invoked when there were
problems.  It is as if my translation was replaced with some dummy
translation for the entire window.
