ctwm-3.6 supported "workspace" as a context (despite the fact that it did not occur in the man page and that its abbreviation of "w" conflicted with that of "window"!)
A little further checking reveals that this functionality was added in bkctwmws.patch that was posted long ago (2000!) and added to my own patched ctwm. I've attached that patch to this message--the original should be present in the list archives.
So to fix *my* problem, I could just add back this patch to ctwm-3.7. But perhaps we should evaluate whether anything like the patch ought to simply be included in ctwm-3.7.
