The problem is this: When unclutter hides the pointer, it creates an invisible subwindow to the window that currently contains the pointer. Since the pointer generates an EnterNofity on the new window and unclutter sends a synthetic EnterNotify on its parent so that the application thinks it still has the cursor. Now, while the cursor is hidden, unclutter waits for any interesting event including FocusOut on the parent window. If it gets one, it destroys its subwindow, creates a new one and sends another EnterNotify. With SloppyFocus and MouseFocus this new EnterNotify moves the focus right back to the old window. There is not much we can do about this in fvwm, it has to be fixed in unclutter. fvwm responds correctly to the events it gets.
