I'm guessing that's your window manager giving you an indication that there's a new window because ediff does create a little popup frame by default. Doing (setq ediff-window-setup-function #'ediff-setup-windows-plain) might help by telling ediff to use a normal Emacs window instead, then your window manager won't be bothered. I'm closing this report, because it's probably not an Emacs bug (this doesn't prevent you from replying if you find the above isn't applicable).
