Seems like that is something that could be fixed. Have you thought about filing a bug report / enhancement request? (`M-x report-emacs-bug') FWIW, I've been using Ediff with separate frames for decades, and I don't have any such problem. But I don't use `focus-follows-mouse'. In principle, Ediff should play well with separate frames.
