Brandon,
You are correct in your supposition. I've filed a bug report, and
while trying to consistently recreate the problem, discovered that if
in my .xinitrc I add a "sleep 2" after starting up my 2 xterms, but
before starting up xquartz, the problem is entirely reproducible. It
appears to be only windows that exist before xquartz starts that
exhibit this behavior.

Now, some further information. I start up X11 from an X11 icon in
my dock. I have a .xinitrc, and it fires up two xterm windows just
before starting quartz-wm, and it is these two windows in
particular that seem to be susceptible to this behavior. Other
xterms that I've started up from the X11 applications menu don't
seem to exhibit this. I have "Focus
Sounds to me like quartz-wm doesn't (properly?) look for existing
windows when it starts up. The workaround would be to start quartz-
wm in the background first, sleep briefly, launch the xterms, then
let the shell wait for everything:
quartz-wm & sleep 2
xterm &
xterm &
wait
