I've had this problem as well, in the same scenario - try to copy and past, using C-y, from the window to the Ratpoison prompt. The senario is when I want to copy select and copy more than one item to the prompt, otherwise I make the selection before bringing up the prompt.
Once the focus leaves the prompt, by clicking on the window, I can't find any way of getting the focus to return to the prompt. The only solution is to restart the X server.
