I can reproduce it: when I lower a window using M-Button3-Click, and
it changes the topmost window, the focus stays with the old window,
instead of moving to the window that the pointer is now on.

Ah, that was it.  My bindings were:

    Context: Window

    M-Button1-C-Click       Move window interactively
    W-Button2-Click         Popup window menu
    M-Button3-Click         Lower window
    M-Button1-Click         Raise window

I changed that to:

    Context: Window

    M-Button1-C-Click       Move window interactively
    W-Button2-Click         Popup window menu
    M-Button3-Off           Lower window
    M-Button1-Off           Raise window

Now the new window properly gets the focus.  Thanks for the tip.
