Maybe in pageonly mode the windows should be ordered alphabetically? And
if they have the same name by the window ID (I think there is one?).

Yes, this might be a solution. Currently I am testing fvwm together with
the gnome desktop (and especially gnome-panel) so maybe I do not have
this problem any longer but possibly others.

Do you still want my experimental configuration? I had to test first if
this behaviour still occurs. My machine is not very fast (400MHz Celeron
with TNT2 GfxCard). But the behaviour did not exist in older 2.5-fvwm
versions that I had tested before July.
