I compiled using your configuration and started the resulting xterm with 
the command
% ./xterm -geometry 80x24+40+35
The xterm opened in the upper left corner.  It also opened in the upper 
left corner with -geometry 80x24-0+0.

I also found that if the --enable-toolbar is in the configure, but I use 
the command
% ./xterm -geometry 80x24+40+35 +tb
I still get the xterm in the upper left corner.

I am using a final generation iMac G5 FWIW.  I usually compile with 
Apple's version of gcc-4.2, but I tried these tests with both a version 
compiled with Apple's latest gcc-4.0 and 4.2, no difference.
Maybe someone else reading this is still seeing a similar 
problem--perhaps with XEmacs.  Both use Xaw, but I have the toolbar 
turned off by default in XEmacs.
