Was this in multiwindow mode, or in rootless/rooted mode?  If the former,
then AFAIU this is expected behavior -- the windows are managed by the
native Windows window manager, and any always-on-top hints are translated
to the Windows always-on-top attribute, which makes your window *really*
stay on top of others.  If the latter, does it make other X windows stay
on top of the Windows windows?  If so, this sounds like a bug.  If not, I
can't see how this is possible, as the rootless mode is implemented via
one large window with transparent areas, IIRC.
