Adding more info:
The problem is that what's visible as the root window isn't really the
root window. It has some X client running on top of it, so it gets the
focus as the mouse enters it. I verified this by running xkill and
clicking the root window. It actually killed something, which wouldn't
have happened with a normal root window:
xkill: killing creator of resource 0x280000a
After killing that invisible layer, "sloppy" starts working as it
should.
So the problem is an incompatibility between "sloppy mode" and whatever
app runs on top of the root window and presents a text field at the
bottom right when typing in the root window. I don't know what this app
is, but it has to be disabled in sloppy mode.

Title:
Sloppy focus mode broken in 16.04 beta2
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Switching to "sloppy" focus mode doesn't work and behaves like "mouse
mode".
I switched using unity-tweak-tool by going to Workspace Settings ->
Additional -> Focus mode. Both "mouse" and "sloppy" result in the
same behavior, with focus following mouse and not focusing on anything
when the mouse is on the root window.
Sloppy previously meant that focus changed when mouse was entering a
window, but not when leaving it.
I'm not sure if it's a bug in xorg or in unity.
