Swallowed apps don't swallow since Sawfish upgrade from 0.38 to 1.0.1

Swallowed apps on the panel don't "swallow" any more since upgrading Sawfish from 0.38 to 1.0.1. I'm not sure if this problem was in 1.0 also, as I never installed that version. I used to have xhippo swallowed into an autohide panel in the corner of my screen, but since the upgrade of Sawfish, it just won't swallow any more. The window remains on the screen, without a border.
I have exactly the same problem with programs intended for th Gnome status dock. For example, Gabber and xmms' status docklets are both displayed at random on screen instead of being swallowed by the appropriate status dock. The fact that it appears this bug is witnessed with respect to a non-sawfish swallowing mechanism suggests to me that sawfish is forcing the window to a position other then is intended.
