I am not able to reproduce the bug, but I can reproduce what I think
the behavior is. Consider the following keybinding

Mouse 1 A SCM Raise

Then use the binding to raise a window. If you hold down the mouse
button, the Raise doesn't happen until after the release. While the
mouse button is held down fvwm seems to be in a semi frozen state, as
if it is waiting for the release event. While holding down the button
(hold it for a couple of minutes), nothing in fvwm is updated, focus
is not changed as I move the mouse around with SloppyFocus, other key
bindings do not work, FvwmButtons ActiveColorsets do not change when
hovered above them, and so on. But as soon as the release happens
things go back to normal.

Due to the info from the original reporter about timing between the
press and release events, it appears that if the release event happens
so quickly after the press event, that by the time fvwm starts to wait
for a release event, the event has already happened. And it isn't
until another click (which causes a release event) that fvwm then
raises the window and continues on.

Anyways, I think the cause of this bug is bad hardware, since it seems
only this one laptop touchpad seems to produce press/release events so
quickly to get fvwm stuck in such a state.
