No, it doesn't happen without a config file...
I checked a bit further, and found that the problem is related to the
following in my .fvwm2rc - if I remove them then the problem goes
away:

# For auto-raise:
*FvwmEvent: enter_window "Silent SelectiveRaise"
*FvwmEvent: leave_window "Silent SelectiveLower"

# Functions to auto-raise / auto-lower only some specific windows:
DestroyFunc SelectiveRaise
AddToFunc SelectiveRaise
        + I WindowId $0 (!raised "FvwmIconMan") Raise
        + I WindowId $0 (!raised "FvwmButtons") Raise
        + I WindowId $0 (!raised "xclock") Raise
        + I WindowId $0 (!raised "xexec") Raise

DestroyFunc SelectiveLower
AddToFunc SelectiveLower
        + I WindowId $0 (raised "FvwmIconMan") Lower
        + I WindowId $0 (raised "FvwmButtons") Lower
        + I WindowId $0 (raised "xclock") Lower
        + I WindowId $0 (raised "xexec") Lower

So it apparently happens only with FVWM 2.5 because earlier versions
didn't have the enter_window/leave_window events.

Those lines are for certain windows to be automatically raised and
lowered when the pointer enters and exits them.

I didn't manage to find out the problem in those lines of my
.fvwm2rc... But it might be that I'm missing something... So I'm not
sure if it's a bug or not...
