Thanks gouessej! Very helpful to start looking in the right places for a solution :).

To summarize, any combination of AWT and Swing is doomed to fail under Mac OS X with Apple JVM, even if the components do not overlap? I'm surprised to find so little solid information on such a considerable limitation.

Looking at solutions, the options appear to be:
> Use GLJPanel: This panel indeed fixed the mac problem for our product but does seem to impact the render performance.
> Use AWT only: We can replace the Swing components in our product with AWT solutions. Best performance but lacks the convenient Swing UI components.

Any solid information or solution for this problem is very welcome.
