Looking at my test case (Xine), it has indeed a small window with
playback controls, and it is also a transient of the main window
(fullscreenable).

WM_NAME(STRING) = "xine Panel"
WM_TRANSIENT_FOR(WINDOW): window id # 0x52002ff

With xprop(1) I noticed that it ALSO has

_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLBAR

which sounds weird to be, but it definitely complicates window stacking!

I didn't get a reliable way to get the crash. I just noticed it mostly
seemed to occur if I was switching to another workspace while the
main window fullscreened, or when switching away from fullscreen mode.
I didn't take notice of any other windows. I guess I'll experiment a bit
more.

My first impression, after reading your description, was that we have
found different problems. But now that my Xine Panel window turns out to
be transient as well, maybe it's the same one, or at least more related
than I thought. It is a fairly small window. But when taking focus away
from the main window, it also changes the calculated proper position of
the panel window.
