Yes, that's normal behaviour. It is, of course, a race because you
might not make it all the way to the desired location.
Sometimes fvwm can get tripped up itself. When I start X, I map
22 xterms on the 20 pages (xterm terminology). Occasionally, the first
xterm will map on Page: 0 0 before fvwm has managed to switch to
Page: 4 3 (I map them in turn from bottom right to top left).
The tool that allows me to map so many so quickly is xtoolwait, for which
I still have to run the squeeze version.

That sounds as if you're using Style * ManualPlacement
which requires you to click to place the window when its frame
appears (tethered to the cursor). I used to use that years ago but
prefer Style * TileCascadePlacement nowadays.
Applications can dodge being placed manually if thy specify their
own geometry specifically.
But I thought I would point out one detail in the workaround I gave.
In the lines
+ I All ('*Mozilla Firefox*') PipeRead '/bin/cat ${HOME}/.fvwm/move-firefox'
+ I All ('*Chromium*') PipeRead '/bin/cat ${HOME}/.fvwm/move-chromium'
the string is a pattern, so the asterisks at each end allow for the
frequent changes in the Window Title that occur as you navigate
the web. (You probably only need to first *.)
Cheers,
David.
