Actually a proper fix was found by Brian Bidulock who maintains a fork 
of Blackbox at https://github.com/bbidulock/blackboxwm.

Bug#784955: blackbox: Focus is sometimes lost when clicking on a window

[August Karlstrom]

Package: blackbox
Version: 0.70.1-23
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Switching window focus using the mouse.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?

Clicking on a window to give it focus.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The window was sometimes not focused and the previously focused window lost 
focus as well.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected the window I clicked on to become the focus window.
