I tried it from another space and did not have the problem (space #3).
Space #2 is a Linux VM running full screen so the dock isn't visible.

I've re-run this test a bit more scientifically. I now have 4 spaces
with applications in each space. X11 apps are in Space #4. This is what
I experience and it is completely reproducible:
1) From any of space 1, 2, or 3 I right click on the X11 icon on the
dock and select an Xterm from the list. (There are 5 to choose from and
it does not matter which I choose, the results are the same.)
2) My space lurches from where it is to space #4. The selected Xterm may
or may not be on top of the Z axis, but it is active.
3) I move the mouse to the Dock and select a running app that is in the
same space I was before the lurch. The tool bar at the top of the screen
indicates the application is active but Space #4 remains the current
view. This is also the case if I try to use ctrl and the previous space #.
4) I try the available options to return to the previous space: Ctrl +
number, and the Spaces menu in the tool bar at the top of the screen.
Neither work.
5) I try going to one of the other two spaces with ctrl + number. That
is successful, and from there I can now vault to any space with any of
the vaulting options.
6) Here it gets interesting. I am in Space #1 and right click the X11
dock icon and select an Xterm as before. Now I know that space #1 is
just one ctrl + -> (right arrow) from space #4 so I try that and
*LURCH*! I find myself in space #2, not #1.
This is consistent with any beginning place. So long as the attempt is
to return to the previous space it ain't gonna happen.
Except: My F8 key is set to Expose` the spaces panels on the screen.
From this screen I can return to space #1.
