I know this is a really old thread, however, recently I hit same problem,
and found a solution which works for me.

Sawfish does not set the _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS property, which gives the offset
of the client window to its top-level frame (the one build by sawfish).

Some clients like firefox, use this information to position their own
temporary X windows, eg. the username/password dropdowns.

If you encounter the mentioned behaviour, try to use a different frame-type
for the window in question: if I set the frame type of firefox to 'none',
then there is not offset, and the dropdowns are positioned correctly. If I
use a frame-style with a big titlebar, the offset gets worse.

The attached patched sets the _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS property and fixed
the problem for me.

Although old, sawfish is still my favourite wm!
