>Description:
When awesome is in a tiling layout and the user's shell is /bin/sh, most opened windows are instantly closed; occasionally a window will remain open, after which it will operate and tile normally.  Floating windows always open correctly and will remain open if set not to float.
>How-To-Repeat:
If necessary, install awesome, create a user whose shell is /bin/sh, and ensure that this user does not have a ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua file that would override the default configuration.

Log in as this user.  Left click the box in the upper-right corner of the screen to switch to a tiling layout.  Press super+return (that is, windows+return) four or five times; each time an xterm should open.  Many will close, but one or two may remain open.
