I could have uploaded mine if I had known it. Once everything is set up
compiling IMO is very simple, so I hardly ever notice the hassle.

directx seems to draw over the whole window, including title bar and
borders as long as they have the right color. gl will only draw on the
client rectangle. Maybe that is the issue? IIRC you use a normal window
with borders and everything embedded into your window and hidden or so?

Fullscreen with directx is a hack, it uses it's own window if you use
vo_fullscreen command.
For gl, except for a possible bug, the fullscreen command should have no
effect at all.
You could try not sending the command and making sure your client window
gets correctly sized on fullscreen.
Note also that leaving borders for aspect is currently not supported in
-vo gl with -wid. Shouldn't be hard, the most difficult part being to
come up with a sane behaviour.
