Surprisingly, SDL_Delay(250) between

SDL_SetWindowFullscreen(Window, SDL_FALSE) and
SDL_GetDisplayUsableBounds(screen, &bounds);

helps to prevent the issue, at least on my PC. Seems to indicate that
SDL_SetWindowFullscreen is not really a synchronous call that returns when
all the work is complete. While I am not entirely happy about that
workaround, as it is likely to break more often than not, it's better than
nothing, at least.
