I think I've found the problem: maximize calls
display-window-without-focusing, and display-window-without-focusing
calls move-viewport-to-window and move-window-to-current-viewport.

This means that as windows are taken up by sawfish the viewport keeps
getting moved, which means that all currently-managed windows are
shifted to suit that movement.  But the coordinates of each newly
managed window are understood to be relative to the *current* viewport,
even though that's constantly changing.
