You are right. This also works as intended. I walked a false path there, sorry.
The real problem is that we don't select for FocusChange events for frame windows and thus never get FocusIn events for them. 
Correcting this revealed another problem: The lastFoundWindow variable was (IMO incorrectly) sometimes also set to frame windows.
The attached patch seems to do the trick - any comments?
