The fix for this is included in 2.5.0, or if you don't want to wait,
there's a link to a build with the fix in both the mailing list
archives and the bug report.

FYI, I upgraded from beta2 to rc2 over the weekend (I was never
prompted for rc1) and hit this problem (using urxvt) a few times
over the course of one day. I reverted to rc1 last night and have
been fine so far.

i'm having the same xterm problems here, new with rc2. I do not
have any external displays. It feels like expose might have
something to do with it, but it is hard to reproduce
intentionally. It has happened several times now in the last few
days.

Here's a screen shot of that problem and three less obvious
problems, and there's a fourth problem that is even worse.
http://metalworkingathome.com/images/badXterms.png
The problems are:
1) The top left xterm title bar is unreachable.
2) This doesn't show up in the screen shot, but the mouse pointer
becomes a text I-bar when ever it is over any of the xterms. That
means over the title bar, the resize corner, or the text window. I
cannot access the controls of any xterm (red, yellow, green
buttons), and only the xterm with text in it is active. I cannot
activate any other xterm.
3) The text in the active window is garbled - see the speckle at
the bottom of the directory listing. The listing is actually much
longer. There is no prompt, and the characters do not echo to the
xterm.
4) The standard X11 package that was intalled with Snow Leopard is
broken. Launching the X11.app icon in the utilities directory
produces a Dock object that offers only "Not responding... Force
Quit". I tried reinstalling it but it remains broken.
This screen is 2.5.0_rc2 updated over rc1. I have to agree this is
not ready to go gold.

Please file a bug report.
To be honest, this seems a bit edge-case. I'll look at it before
releasing 2.5.0, but it's not going to hold up a release.
Besides, I expect 2.5.1 to be a much shorter/tighter release
cycle focusing on moving to the 1.8 server, addressing corner
issues like this, and hopefully doing more clipboard and libGL
work.

This morning, rc2 decided that the first window ought to open at
the
very top of the screen, such that its window title bar is
invisible
and inaccessible behind the menu bar. This is a pretty serious
usability regression from prior versions :-(
I have not tried to do a controlled reproduction, but I think it
goes like this:
* attach external monitor that's positioned above laptop screen
* open some X11 windows on the external, then close them
* sleep laptop and detach external monitor
* hit command-N to try to open a new xterm
