This is just a bug. We saw it, but didn't manage to track it down
before the release. I don't know a number offhand, but it's pretty
certainly in bugzilla 

My guess is that it's a race condition - if the release happens before
Metacity (the window manager) wakes up to process it, then it gets
lost. Try clicking slower ;-(
