if the issue you described is also true for version 2.24.8 (?), did you
file a bug for it on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/ then?

However, at least according to this:

"GTK+ 2.24, which is the final stable release of GTK+ 2.x"
http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.3/gtk-migrating-2-to-3.html#id1291440

it seems like GTK+ 2.24.X would be the last release of GTK+ 2 because
now there is the new GTK+ 3.

So, out of curiosity, are you already migrating Sylpheed to GTK+ 3 ;)?

Seems like GTK+ 3 for Windows would improve as well:

"* Win32 improvements:
  - Many fixes, making this the first version of GTK+ 3 that
    works well on Windows"
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gtk+/3.3/gtk+-3.3.4.news

And also seems like the Windows improvements of the latest GTK+ 2 have
also been "forward ported" into GTK+ 3:
