The rubber bands are "XOR"'d onto the background. The XOR operation is
reversible, that is, if you do it twice, the background comes back to
its original color. Fvwm has to grab the XServer during this operation
because anyone else drawing where the XORs have been done will mess up
the second XOR.
There might be other ways of putting the rubber bands on the screen,
but they would be a lot slower, so I think its a feature.
