Other guess: your WM trying to be clever. It could recognise the window of the remote app, think you want to local one and move that to the current workspace which could result in the two windows on top of each other. Something like that (but harmless) happens in WindowMaker. When you have an app icon for e.g. qjakctl, then launch it on a remote machine, the icons 'start by double click' function doesn't work anymore because wm thinks the app is already running (you can still start on the icon's menu).
