from what I can tell by looking at the requests coming in, the test app in Comment #1 issues a passive grab in mode Sync.

the confine_to is part of that same grab, hence when the grab activates the cursor is confined to the window. the application never issues a AllowEvents request to the server, hence the events get queued up indefinitely.

which means either of two things:
- the app doesn't get an event that it used do get and thus doesn't trigger the AllowEvent request. In this case it's definitely the server that's at fault but the trick bit will be finding this event.
- the server does the right thing, the app just relies on previously broken behaviour.

still looking at the event stream on 1.6
