yes, this looks like the "activate window changes spaces, but spaces
internal state is not updated" issue that I see here:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/ticket/102
I'm passing this off to the spaces folks, but I might be able to come
up with a workaround in the mean time.

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.
