I found this bug report when I was searching for a fix for a similar issue. 
In my case all  you have to do is move a window and then immediately click in another window.
There may be other ways to reproduce this. 
Investigating the issue I found this patch:
     http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/patch/?id=1884db430a5680e37e94726dff46686e2218d525
     Subject: Revert "dix: use the event mask of the grab for TryClientEvents."

I am using xorg-server-1.8.0 and found the issue was introduced in
xorg-server-1.6.3.  The patch fix appears in xorg-server-1.8.2 and later.
