Ending up with a 1x1 b/w bitmap is a quite normal occurrence even in "real" Windows, if the DC's/bitmaps are not obtained/created/selected/initialized in the right way/sequence. Whether that is the case here is impossible to tell from your example. If you can document a difference in behavior (with a code sample), you should report it as a bug.
