The problem was specific to my setup: Focus mode set to enter-only, and
with Button1-Click1 bound to "Raise or pass through click".  Changing
this to "Raise window and pass through click" fixes it.  Presumably, for
some reason when there are two such transients, sawfish keeps trying to
raise the windows, and never gets as far as passing the click through.
