To remove the window decorations, metacity must pop the window out of
its frame, which results in unmapping the window and thus losing
focus. To add the decorations it has to pop the window out of the root
window again resulting in an unmap.

So basically, no there's no way to do this, without some sort of large
metacity changes that may cause other bad side effects.
