i've played arround a little bit and found (at last for me) the patch
as temporary solution until there is a real fix:

{
window = meta_window_new (display, event->xmaprequest.window,
FALSE);
+ meta_window_focus (window, meta_display_get_current_time (window->display));
+ meta_window_make_above(window);
}
