The boxed cursor thing can happen in certain situations if e16 for some 
reason isn't allowed to run and process events. If some other process 
goes berserk that may be the reason.

Does alt-tab'ing (using focus list) fix this?

I don't ever see these problems and it would be useful with some more 
information.
- When you updated e16 did you also update other stuff, like X11,
   (hoping to place the blame somewhere else :) )
- What is your X11 version?
- Which platform are you running on?
- Any chance you can find out which version between 0.16.8.1 and
   0.16.8.6 these problems appeared in?
- What is your configuration ("eesh show")?

If you want to do some debugging you could start e16 with
$ EDEBUG=129 e16
or when running use
$ eesh debug events 129
and see if you can log something interesting (e16 stdout) leading up to 
the problem.
