Which window-managers ?
I would consider it a bug.  Think of the case where your Galeon window
is a bit behind showing one large imagemap, how are you going to bring
it up and give it focus without selecting something in the imagemap ?

The only time when such clicks aren't swallowed in my experience is
when the window-manager uses focus-follows-point.
