We have the same problem with twm and also with awm. We had a quick look
at it and it appeared that xterm tries to interact with the window manager
but gets no reply. After a number of seconds the request is timed out.

We did not want to spend any time in solving this problem, but maybe
the problem is solved in the next X release.
