For what it's worth, I've seen this (and a related problem) since
2.3.2. I've always suspected that it's a conflict between a OS window
manager event and the X server. The related problem is sometimes a
currently in-use xterm will lose focus for 1-3 seconds. Sometimes the
focus returns, other times I need to click in the xterm to get the
focus back.
I've always assumed these problems were at a deeper event level, and
because they are so random and impossible to reproduce, I've just lived
with them. Like the ticket referenced below, I'd say it's a good bet that
there is some other process that is messing with focus.
