I couldn't reproduce this on twm myself, but I didn't try the default
config for twm.

The commit 4f987e189d "Fix last change.* src/xterm.c
(x_detect_focus_change): Test against FOCUS_EXPLICIT." works, in that
the focus is kept in the window.

The next commit 11b2dfca287d "* src/xterm.c (x_detect_focus_change): Fix XI2 focus on GTK builds." reverses the condition in the test! this does not work.

I haven't grokked xinput2 at all, so I'm just reporting what I'm seeing:)
