Neat, it was a pretty stupid little bug. I wrapped the function with a
type annotation for the first argument and then immediately threw away
that annotated function when I wrapped the base function again to
annotate the second argument. That said, I wasn't able to reproduce the
precise error (though I got lots of other wonky errors with glRectf as a
result of the problem).

Hopefully that will take care of your issue too,
Mike
