I can only guess here, but I can remember a similar problem
with XEmacs.  Sometimes it happened that fvwm thought the
window was iconified although it wasn't.  The effect was
the same althought what you say doesn't sound like it.  Can
you try to download the 2.3.10 beta release and see if that
helps?

  ftp://ftp.fvwm.org/pub/fvwm/version-2/fvwm-2.3.10.tar.gz

BTW, don't use it for production, it won't make your users
happy!

Bye
