I can only suggest:

  Style * ClickToFocusPassesClickOff

This should solve your problem, but I am not sure this is what you want.
If a click on ClickToFocus window is passed to an application, unexpected
things may happen. Maybe Dominik may explain this better.

What is exactly the thing that there's no way around it?

Yes. This problem was fixed a day or two after 2.5.1.
Use the stable version or the latest snapshot if you tend to move a
mouse a lot when using a keyboard, i.e. Alt-Tab. :)
