I experience very similar situation. 1. I have only one active Gnome Shell extension: "Disable Gestures" which gives me a desirable feature - to disable all multi-finger touch screen gestures. I just disabled it to see if that will resolve the issue.
2. Indeed, I found that sometimes clicking on app windows is affected, but the shell panel - not. 3. I have not tried Xorg sessions while this occurs. I will on next occasion. $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

Aug 16 10:11:43 angel gnome-shell[2530]: Attempting to call back into JSAPI during the sweeping phase of GC. This is most likely caused by not destroying a Clutter actor or Gtk+ widget with ::destroy signals connected, but can also be caused by using the destroy(), dispose(), or remove() vfuncs. Because it would crash the application, it has been blocked and the JS callback not invoked. Aug 16 10:11:43 angel gnome-shell[2530]: The offending signal was destroy on StButton 0x55efdf295080.
