Thanks for your report. I'll forward it upstream.

If you can also use the newwm feature. That will replace ratpoison with
the choosen window manager, but most classic window managers in Debian
have the ability to switch back to ratpoison.
(I don't have twm installed, and vtwm has a little bug in its
/etc/menu-methods/vtwm (remove the & there and run update-menus) but
otherwise that is usually the more stable way to switch between window
managers.
