I agree that it's these apps' mistake, not dwm's, but wouldn't it be
possible too to just re-enforce the maxsize on the client in question?
That's essentially what is being done in plain tiled mode too. (Off
course this would have to be done carefully, as a maxed client
actually has two sizes: it's client struct contains it's "real" size
for the current mode, but it is displayed at screensize; it would be
easy to mess those up).
