You can force the pop-up to your current view with this bit of code:
        
        POPUPS="Ekiga|kopete"

        wmiir read /event 2>/dev/null |
        while read event
        do
            set -f
            set -- $event
            set +f
            type="$1"; shift
            parms="$@"
            case "$type" in
            CreateClient)
                target_view=`wmiir read /ctl | awk '/^view/ {print $2}'`
                if [[ `wmiir read /client/${params}/props | egrep -q "${POPUPS}"` == 0 ]]
                then
                        echo -n $target_view | wmiir write /client/${parms}/tags
                fi
                ;;
            esac
        done

Just stick the CreateClient) ... ;; block in your wmiirc, and define the POPUPS
variable at the top.

Note: this code has not been tested; you may have to tweak it.
