I have manageHooks in place; in this case, the manageHook is for 
terminal to be on workspace B and firefox on workspace A and 
somehow the terminal gets pulled into workspace B. Note that this 
doesn't only happen with windows with manageHooks but any active 
window. 

To reproduce this, create a request to make a window in a 
time-delayed fashion, best way is to start firefox download for a 
busy site (or just enough for you to move to other workspace).

My xmonad.hs is https://gist.github.com/a63243e5e906f7f8802c

Also I am using xmonad built on latest darcs HEAD.
