Thanks for the test! That triggers the same focus-grabbing behavior for
me -- from other Emacs frames, and other applications' frames, using
"emacs -Q".
You tried this also with switching to a different workspace? And it
didn't turn the workspace's tab red?
Perhaps something's configured differently on my system (though I don't
know why it would be, I didn't customize anything). Is there anything I
might be looking for in config.log?

I fooled with `x-wait-for-event-timeout' but that didn't do anything. I
suppose 6a788d2fc18c23dcfc5d0352649b2f690e9cbff7 could be related
(FRAME_VISIBLE_P certainly sounds relevant) but I don't actually
understand what's happening in there. Should I try just reverting the
commit and re-building?
Thanks,
Eric
