I can say it has been true in the past, even if it is no longer the case. It is
not something I test with each OS release. I certainly can move a window almost
entirely offscreen—enough to not notice it at least. Also, your suggestion that
the window may have an invalid size could also be the case, additionally
revealed by logging the window frame. I have seen some auto layout wonkiness
that forces too-small frame, though not enough to make it disappear.
