This is typically a bug in the xorg video driver; xmonad handles window
placement policy, this is redraws not happening which is between the X server
and whatever client is not redrawing (or the server itself if there is no
backdrop window).
While things like this often happen with NVidia driver regressions and the only
known workarounds involve running a compositing manager, apparently a recent
Intel video driver update introduced this in the case where the root window is
left at the default black; `xsetroot -grey` is a workaround in this case.

Thanks so much! The workaround works great. In my case, I added:
`spawn "xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr -solid black"`
to the main do block in my xmonad.hs file.
