Someone not so long ago was complaining about Firefox and friends having
a similiar "feature" wherein clicking the window will give that frame
focus without asking nicely. I would guess this is Pidgin being a PITA.
AFAIK real men use bitlbee, so perhaps that would help. ;-)
I guess the only thing to do (assuming this isn't a bug in StumpWM)
would be to find a hacky workaround. And I doubt it's a bug in StumpWM.
