Yes, that's a general side effect (I wouldn't call it a "problem" and
I'd hesitate a little at "deficiency"; it's just how you'd expect a
normal window to work).  That only impacts working on stuff relying on
keybindings you're already capturing in the "outside" WM; depending on
your use case, that may be anywhere on the spectrum of "totally
unworkable" to "utterly unnoticeable".

However, do note that xephyr _does_ do full kb/mouse capturing, like a
lot of VM's, so it can sit in that role.
