[openbox] Focus-under-mouse doesn't work (mostly)

I have followMouse and underMouse both enabled
<focus>
<focusNew>no</focusNew>
<!-- always try to focus new windows when they appear. other rules do apply -->
<followMouse>yes</followMouse>
<!-- move focus to a window when you move the mouse into it -->
<focusLast>no</focusLast>
<!-- focus the last used window when changing desktops, instead of the one
under the mouse pointer. when followMouse is enabled -->
<underMouse>yes</underMouse>
<!-- move focus under the mouse, even when the mouse is not moving -->
<focusDelay>0</focusDelay>
<!-- when followMouse is enabled, the mouse must be inside the window for
this many milliseconds (1000 = 1 sec) before moving focus to it -->
<raiseOnFocus>no</raiseOnFocus>
<!-- when followMouse is enabled, and a window is given focus by moving the
mouse into it, also raise the window -->
</focus>
But underMouse doesn't seem to work most of the time. Here's one
scenario that usually (but not always) fails:
1) Create a xterm window.
2) Create a second one and place it on top of the first one.
3) Place the mouse pointer in the center of the top one, and hit
Ctrl-D.
4) The top xterm window goes away, and the mouse pointer is now in the
middle of the first one, but it doesn't have focus.
5) I have to click or move the cursor out and back in for it to get
focus.
_Sometimes_ it does work as expected, but I can't find any pattern to
when it works and when it doesn't.
The same thing often happens for other sorts of windows also, but
xterms are the simplest to demonstrate.
