Thanks for the detailed bug report.

Indeed, it seems that this change introduced a timing window where the
skip-taskbar state of a window might not be applied correctly when the window
was first shown, and I guess remote xterms fall into this window.
I've uploaded 1.12.2-1 which hopefully contains a fix which closes this timing
window.
When it reaches the mirrors, perhaps you could try it and see if it fixes
things for you?
