test program

In XReconfigureWMWindow() call stackmode "Below" windows are placed at the bottom of the window stack instead just below the sibling, see test program. This makes it impossible for clients to reliably set the window stacking order.
"
If a sibling and a stack_mode are specified, the window is restacked as follows:

Above The window is placed just above the sibling.
Below The window is placed just below the sibling.

This report belongs to GNOME,
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1052011
is independent I fear because it is probably a problem of the window manager.

I can confirm this; it is not a bug in X server. X server sends ConfigureRequest event to the window manager, who is supposed to handle the window arrangement. For example KDE4 kwin handles it correctly.

I see this has been reported upstream:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786365

Close as resolved upstream.
