I'm not totally sure this is a bug in Decoration. I'm coming to think
this is a bug in the TabbedDecoratios style. I have the same problem,
here, when I use smartBorders.

Still, if I change your config by adding these imports:

import XMonad.Layout.TabBarDecoration
import XMonad.Layout.Simplest
import XMonad.Layout.ResizeScreen

and change your tabbed with the tabbed-like decoration:

    tbd = tabBar shrinkText myTabConfig Top (resizeVertical 20 Simplest)

your problem has gone.

So, I think, but I need to investigate a bit further, my patches have
just revealed a bug in the tabbed style. But I may be wrong.

(Please tell me if the above solves your problem too).
