That was the pattern I found (and copied) to allow the dialog to be open, but not modal; ie, you can use the main calibre GUI while the Add dialog is up to see if you already have a book or whatever. Unfortunately, I don't remember where I copied it from now.
Nothing FFDL does--even if it was wrong--should be able to do some of the things you're describing. And there are a number of known bugs with Qt5.
So I am going to point at the combination of Qt5 and Xfce. If it happens for other X implementations, I might look into doing a workaround of some kind.

Thank you for the prompt response - I feared as much, but I guess Qt 5 is pretty new, and hopefully a bug fix further upstream will solve the problem sooner or later.
