I can confirm that this sequence causes the same behavior for me as well and
that if you then launch xterm #3, #4, etc., they will open and close
immediately after getting focus.

Fortunately, I had xbiff running - I clicked on it and hit enter, then
launched xterm, and everything was fine.  My only other alternative would
have been to shutdown X and restart it.

This does seem to behave as though XWin is getting confused in its keyboard
handling and thinks that CTRL+D is still down.  I've noticed similar
behavior with the enter key in conjunction with focus changes.  For example,
if an X client receives focus by dismissing a MessageBox with the enter key,
it will often begin repeatedly processing the Enter key.
