This is not a bug. The same problem occurs in every DE because opencv's imshow gives the windows the same default position. If you use cv::moveWindow you can change the window position in imshow... If you think this shouldn't happen you should fill a bug report in python- opencv.

My desktop is stretched over two monitors. Left monitor has nothing on it, right one has emacs not maximized, the 5 windows pop up on top left of the left screen. I expect that the windows would appear in a way that they do not overlap, since there is plenty of space on both screens for that.
