Looks like this is an issue with all our custom address autocomplete, as the
same thing happens elsewhere where it is used, e.g. default recipient entries
in folder properties or templates, addressbook search entry, recipient entry
for "Resend" filtering actions.

The code tries to place the popup window with completion results right below
the entry widget. For some reason, though, when the code responsible for this
tries to get the GdkWindow of the entry widget, it seems to get GdkWindow of
one of its parent layout widgets - in case of entries in compose window, that
seems to be the GtkScrolledWindow inside the "Header" GtkNotebook page.

That's as far as I've got. I can't figure out why this happens.

An idea is to rewrite this address completion functionality to use GTK's native
GtkEntryCompletion.
