I noticed this because I opened a browser and it came up behind the
XEmacs window.  With metacity, there is an icon in the upper left hand
corner of each frame that opens a menu.  There is an "Always on top"
checkbox on that menu.  I can easily uncheck it; I'm just curious to
know how it got checked in the first place.

FWIW, xprop does show the difference for this property on my machine.
When "Always on top" is NOT checked, it reports:

_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) =

When "Always on top" is checked, it reports:

_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE

I'll make an attempt at debugging this.  Stand by.
