I think that it's related to window manager. For testing, you can
manually invoke pinentry like:
$ pinentry # run pinentry by command line (-gtk2 or any)
confirm # shows a dialog box
bye # finish the session
$
Doing this makes it easy to identify a problem (from complicated
interaction of gpg <-> gpg-agent <-> pinentry).

It seems for me that:
You can somehow control the behavior of the window manager.
In its configuration by "Focus" tab in "Window Manager Tweaks":
https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/wmtweaks
And/or the first entry of "Accessibility" tab which says "Raise windows
when any mous button is pressed".
Or "Focus" tab in "Preferences":
https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/preferences
Looking the commit log of xfwm4 (about "stacking"), it appears something
has been changed.
