I have seen something like this on occasion with windows created by the 
Cygwin X server, but that seems to be associated with having "focus 
follows mouse" mode turned on.

I'm not sure if that os some problem in the way that the X server 
manages the Z-order of it's windows, or something about the way that the 
X server creates windows interacting with any 'focus stealing 
prevention' heuristic that windows has (See 'ForegroundLockTimeout').

Your first example doesn't seem to involve X at all, so I guess that 
points towards the second theory...
