I got the same problem with fvwm 2.5.8, also Debian Linux.
It seems windows which have the style StaysOnTop
(which are, according to the docu, put to Layer 6) are covered by
fullscreen apps when EWMHUseStackingOrderHints is set. But if
the window has, via style, put to Layer 7, this workaround don't
work anymore.
I don't care because Layer 6 (StaysOnTop) satisfies me. I just mention it,
because I was startled first why this workaround, doesn't seems to
work, until I tried the style "StaysOnTop" instead of "Layer 7". :-)
