I'm also seeing fog of war problems.  In my case, it happens most often
when I'm running quickly through visibility-obstructing squares.  What
happens is that a copy of my character image is left on some of the
squares.  My guess is that I'm moving fast enough that the server doesn't
do a full update for every square that I move over.  (If it would help, I
could try to see if this only happens when my movement rate is above some
threshold.)  I've also seen a few cases where a monster image is left on
the screen, though this is quite rare.
