Thanks for the detailed report. Can you please send your fvwm configuration file to the fvwm-workers@fvwm.org mailing list so that I can take a look myself? I suspect that some of the focus related settings play a role in this. (Please do not answer to me directly - I will not be able to read the mail at home then).
