So I filed a bug.  A number of other people have also
complained about the same problem.  We've all been told that we
are "wrong", the old behavior was "wrong", all other window
managers are "wrong" (and have been for 20 years) -- that
staring new windows on top doesn't "make sense".

We're told that the new behavior (starting all new windows on
the bottom of the stack instead of the top) is "right", and we
better just shut up and be happy while the change is shoved
down our throats.
