I have also experience the repeated keystroke bug.
As for the window title bug, it was possible to give a new xterm a
different title under XWin-4.2.0-20. If you run xterm -T "my title" -e
bash, the xterm will have "my title" as the title. Versions after
XWin-4.2.0-20 don't seem to allow this anymore.

Thank you for your time and effort, Kensuke, Harold, et. al.
I have two monitors, monitor 2 is physically left of monitor 1.
XFree86-xserv 4.2.0-28.
0) the repeated keystrokes bug is still present in this release

1) window positioning bug
# Xwin -rootless -multiplemonitors -clipboard
# xterm -geometry +34+5
The xterm is positioned in the upper left-hand corner of monitor 2.
# Xwin -multiwindow -multiplemonitors -clipboard
# xterm -geometry +34+5
The xterm is positioned in the upper left-hand corner of monitor 1.
Presumably, the xterm should get positioned on the same monitor regardless
whether I use -rootless or -multiwindow.
2) window title bug
# Xwin -rootless -multiplemonitors -clipboard
# xterm -geometry +34+5
# TERM=xterm; export TERM
# xterm -e bash -i -c "ssh -X user at remote"
The xterm window gets a title like "user at remote:~". This is very pretty
and very useful when you open a gazillion xterms, like I do. (The remote
machine has an /etc/bashrc that sets up $PROMPT_COMMAND appropriately. For
my stock RedHat 8 install, it's PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER} at
${HOSTNAME%% dot *}:${PWD/#$HOME/~}\007"'.)
# Xwin -multiwindow -multiplemonitors -clipboard
[snip. same xterm, TERM and ssh setup as above, but note -multiwindow, not
-rootless Xwin invocation]
The xterm window gets the title "bash". Awful, boring title.
Best,
