After some testing, I see this was "fixed" by gtk commit
03213b9509fc1df16c66194ea168aed6c15110e9.  It doesn't make the resize
handles visible, but at least the windows are resizable again.  I don't
expect this will make it in to jessie though, because it's not a very
simple patch and it also requires changes to the theme.

As a workaround, someone running into this problem on fvwm can try
editing ~/.fvwm2rc and removing the MWMDecor option to have fvwm ignore
the mwm flags.
