The "phantom character" effect doesn't occur with Konqueror or in the URL window of Mozilla (1.3.1), but it does occur in, say, the search field of Google in Mozilla. As I type a string in the search field, the cursor gradually lags behind what I type. This if, in Google-in-Mozilla, I type konqueror I see the cursor immediately after the final "r"; if konqueror disable the cursor is in the middle of the final "e"; if konqueror disable flash the cursor is immediately after the final "s" and the final "h" appears like an "l". Hitting Alt-Tab twice renders the "h" legible. Perhaps I should add that all of this is in KDE. (Gnome sounds interesting, but I haven't yet ventured into it.)
