It seems to have come with the 4.6 kernel.  I should have thought of
trying this before (thanks to Tom Horsley in a thread on "Really excessive
screen behavior" for reminding me!) but with kernel-4.5.7-300.fc24.x86_64,
this doesn't arise.  So for now I'm just back to booting to the older
kernel.  

This doesn't seem to be the same as any of the other bugs I could find, so
I've entered it as a new one,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1352719

I entered it for the kernel, though maybe it's really an X11 or driver
bug.  Someone with a lot more knowledge of the internals than I have will
have to decide that.
