### Steps to reproduce


1. Make this `vimrc.vim`.
    ```vim
    set nocompatible

    function s:repro() abort
      terminal ++curwin

      " Maybe this is an timing issue.  Rarely this bug doesn't happen without
      " this.
      " Probably... we have to wait until the invoked shell fully starts up; i.e.
      " we should wait for the state that Vim has no more need to redraw the
      " terminal window...
      sleep 100m

      let popupid = popup_create('ABC', #{ opacity: 30 })
      call timer_start(100, {-> popup_close(popupid)})
    endfunction

    command! Repro call s:repro()
    ```
2. Open Vim: `vim -u /path/to/vimrc.vim`
3. Type `:Repro<CR>` to execute the `:Repro` command.
4. Check the screen
