I was worried that was the case.

It might just be. Which is unfortunate from the standpoint that it
reduces flexibility for the programmer, but perhaps a benefit to
users. There's one mission-critical Windows app that we run which was
written in Delphi (*shudder*) and has a tendency to throw up modal
dialogs behind the main window, which are then inaccessible if the app
wasn't active when the dialog started. You can't move the main window
out of the way at all because it's disabled, so you're forced to kill
the app in Task Manager. I doubt any user, be they Mac, Windows,
Linux, etc. would tolerate such behavior. In fact, I don't know how I
haven't punted the machine through the window on more than one
occasion...
