I hadn’t noticed that, so I checked and my use-cases they also seem to be working now. I put up some xterms, don’t move them, put my machine to sleep, and when it wakes up the X windows are still where I left them.
It also appears that the case of X11 having the wrong menu bar also seems to be gone. (Select X11 in space #2. Click on the background to bring Finder to the front. Use command-tab to select an application in space #1. Use command-tab to select X11. Previously this would bring me back to space #2 with X11, but the menu bar would still be the previous application.)
I’m running 2.7.10_rc2 with macOS Sierra.

So windows in the upper left corner move a little bit, any window that is not in the upper left quadrant go off-screen. Only windows that have not been manually moved will jump. When you first manually move a window after its initial placement it’ll “jump” to the 2x/2y position and then snap back to where your mouse is.
