I wish I could reproduce this. You could try to change expose(..) a
bit as follows:

  if(ev->count == 0 && (m = wintomon(ev->window)) && ev->win == m->barwin)
      drawbar(m);

and see if that makes a difference. If not, you could try to only
handle the 10th event through some static counter...

But obviously there is some ev->count breakage in your setup.
