Not that I did understand so much of the last part of the message, I sometimes got a similar bug!
Don't know why it happens, but sometimes when I have been pressing CTRL, the systems misses the event when I released it again and the result is that the mouse continues to select text instead of raising the window.
I just press (and releases) the CTRL button once more, and it releases its function.

Don't know if its the same problem you are experiencing...

I'm not sure what causes this bug, whether it is in xterm, the x

Occasionally my xterms get into a mode where mouse clicks no longer
act as expected. A left or right click, rather than raising and
focusing the window, selects all of the text in the xterm from the
beginning of the saved lines to the line where the click occured.
Middle clicks continue to paste the selection.
Once, choosing the Show Alternate Screen option and then unchoosing it
got the xterm back to normal, but that is not working either, just now.
One possibly relevant issue is gettimeofday(). The box crashes
occasionaly (bad smm bios I think) and the rtc is always off by a few
hours on a reboot after such an event. (Ntpd keeps it w/in a few
centiseconds ordinarily; only the hard crashes fubar the rtc.) I have
pppd run ntpdate when it starts, so there is a significant jump
backward in time every once in a while. Might that cause the bug?
Xev, while the bug is evident, gives this to clicks in its window, fwiw:
Outer window is 0x2a00001, inner window is 0x2a00002
