I looked in to this -- it's a problem in GTK3. Have filed a bug upstream
with a patch, hopefully this will fix it, although a similar patch for
completeness in Emacs to handle a BadMatch condition, would still need to
happen for belt-and-braces. I do not know though, if this has been done,
and I am not prepared to check either.
Net result: never was FVWM's problem.
