As another partial workaround, you can use the keyboard bindings for moving and resizing. It appears that only moving and resizing with the mouse is constrained.

Press alt-space to open up the window menu, and press M for move or R for resize. Cursor keys move the cursor, hit Enter to finish.

You can't resize outside the visible space in one go, but it's doable in steps, by moving most of the window outside the visible area and then resizing it (repeat if necessary).
