Perfect! That seems to be the difference. I, and presumably Francesco, aren't using TTF fonts. If I change your Xresources to use XTerm.*.VT100.Font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1 instead of the FaceName/FaceSize resources, then playing the recording reproduces the problem.
