...and then there are the fruitcakes like me who use sloppy focus
without auto-raise and frequently choose to work in windows that
aren't on top.

'Zactly. When you click on the GIMP menu/toolbar window, the
menu/toolbar window has focus, not any of the image windows. I
suppose GIMP might be able to hack around this by keeping a stack of
most-recently-focused windows, but that would still break too easily
in conjunction with sloppy focus.
