Hmm, really? I just tested: On my setup (Moray 3.1.4215, NT 4.0 SP 3) Moray
does not redraw the wireframe after or during rendering until I tell it to.
Just doesn't. Not if I move the mouse. Not if I use the mouse to move
Moray's window. Not if I click anywhere in Morays window (including the 3D
viewport). Not if I switch to some other window and back to Moray again. Not
if I shift-drag select an object in any of the views (in this case only the
selected object is redrawn in the yellow selection color).
I have to manually redraw with CTRL+R (or equivalent) or use pan/zoom/rotate
to change the view or do something similar (like maximizing the view).

Also, Nieminen wrote that he didn't move the mouse. So all is very
unpredictable, which seems to confirm your other statement:
