This seems like a reasonable request, as it is something that many
window managers support.  Z-order locking doesn't seem like it would be
hard to implement.

In the meantime, have you ever experiemented with disabling Raise on
Activate?  This way, keyboard focus still follows mouse, but you need to
click the titlebar (or f.circle_up) to actually raise a window.  I find
it invaluable for the type of functionality you describe (copying text
around, etc.).  Try it sometime; see what you think.
