I built my own Pd-0.48.0.app and it uses 8.4:

Tk 8.4.19

and it still has the same behavior. 

Since I remember using Pd on macOS, I had to click once for switching
windows and another time for actually clicking on something. So this
doesn't seem something new with this release.

Your post sounds to me as you have a different experience. Can you
click a bang from a window that has not focus with a single click?

Instead of wish8.4, should I try a newer self-built version, too?
