Okay Patrick, I have run a number of tests, and at all resolutions and 
colour modes available to me via the "control panel" display the demo 
distort displays the the same problem.

Also I did have -class TrueColor -depth 24 added to my 
/var/X11/xdm/Xservers for these tests though I reverted back to the 
original one.

another thing I noticed with distort, this effect depends on image size 
for example:
with an image size of 57k its fine
with an image size of 226k its fine
with an image size of 900k its not and displays the split image issue.
