Fvwm normally uses an option to suppress inital position information:
[in my .fvwm2rc]
Style "*" NoPPosition

[from the fvwm2 manpage]

NoPPosition instructs fvwm to ignore the PPosition
field when adding new windows. Adherence to the
PPosition field is required for some applications,
but if you don't have one of those its a real
headache.

Since you don't have the problem unsing another wm, this should be the
solution. (I haven't checked it though.)
