This "works":
augroup TEST
au!
autocmd FocusLost * echomsg "focus lost"
autocmd FocusGained * echomsg "focus gained"
augroup END
set ei=all
echomsg system("echo system command")
echo "press any key to continue"
call getchar()
set ei&
By "works" I mean that I do not see a "focus gained" message. It
appears your diagnosis is on the right track.

Yeah Gary Johnson tried on Fedora 11 and got neither the FocusGained
nor the FocusLost events either with or without the eventignore
setting. It certainly looks like Windows acts differently.
With this on Windows XP 64-bit (eventignore removed):
autocmd FocusLost * echomsg "focus lost"
autocmd FocusGained * echomsg "focus gained"
"set ei=all
echomsg system("echo system command")
"set ei&
I get only FocusGained...no FocusLost.
I get the same thing with the commands in there (uncommented).

That's not a good sign. Is there some way to make sure Vim notices it
lost focus when using system()?
As a workaround, maybe using feedkeys() somehow can reset the
eventignore to allow ignoring of FocusGained? This seems VERY kludgy
though, even if it works.
