I think Epoch is not a very nice X application. It is not using Xt and is
having a strange input mechanism. So it is possible that in certain situations
it is loosing event. 

But we also had focus problems using Epoch and twm. These problems disapeared
using Mwm. Mwm is garanteed to be ICCCM compatible, twm is not. 

Conclusion: both can be wrong, but my experience points in the twm direction:
try another window manager.
