Confirmed.

My System setup is:
1. Gentoo Linux 2006.1
2. Gnome Desktop Environment 2.16.1
3. Beryl 0.2 beta composite window manager
4. Firefox version Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20070115 BonEcho/2.0.0.1

Steps I took to produce this bug:
1. System started with aforementioned software running.
2. In firefox, visit http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/index.html
3. Scroll down, then scroll back up. The pink header will "ghost" across the page obscuring sections of the webpage.

Steps I took to work around this bug:
1. Terminate Beryl composite window manger.
2. Start Metacity window manager (no composite manager)
3. Revisit webpage from previous step #2 and scrolling works without the "ghosting".
