Whenever I enable/disable monitors, the window that currently has focus looses focus, and the focus changes to a window that is minimised on the taskbar.
This has been happening for a while, and I have put up with it, but realised that it was unlikely to be intended behaviour.
Am I correct?

How do you disable/enable the monitor? I tested via UltraMon menu > Display Settings, but noticed no change in focus, the Display Settings dialog still had the focus after the display configuration change.

By using hotkeys with the DisableEnableMonitor script. One with monitors 2&3 defined, and one with monitors 2,3&4 defined.

I've been able to reproduce the issue when re-enabling a monitor, happens because the script restores window positions.
To prevent this, change line 3 of the script to the following:
Const POS_ALL = &H3
This way only icon and desktop item positions will get restored.
I'll look into this for the next release.

This looks like it is going to be a bit more complex that I first thought.
Having looked at your suggestion, and then the script I am using, there are significant discrepancies. It is closer to the DisableEnableMonitorX script, but still isn't the same.
I have been using this script for a LONG time so can't remember its genesis. The For Each at the end is not something I would have added.
The script is:
DisableEnableMonitor23.vbs --------------------
'Copyright 2002 by Realtime Soft
Const POS_WINDOWS = &H1
Const POS_ICONS = &H2
Const POS_DESKTOPITEMS = &H4
Const POS_ALL = &H7
Set sys = CreateObject("UltraMon.System")
Set wnd = CreateObject("UltraMon.Window")
Set mon2 = sys.Monitors("2")
Set mon3 = sys.Monitors("3")
Set mon4 = sys.Monitors("4")
deskLeft = sys.DesktopLeft
deskTop = sys.DesktopTop
deskRight = deskLeft + sys.DesktopWidth
deskBottom = deskTop + sys.DesktopHeight
primaryMonId = sys.Monitors("Primary").ID
If mon2.Enabled = True Then
mon2.Enabled = False
mon3.Enabled = False
mon4.Enabled = False
sys.ApplyMonitorChanges
Else
mon2.Enabled = True
mon3.Enabled = True
sys.ApplyMonitorChanges
End If
For Each w In wnd.GetAppWindows(True) 'move all orphan windows to primary monitor
If (w.Left + w.Width) <= deskLeft Or w.Left >= deskRight Or (w.Top + w.Height) <= deskTop Or w.Top >=
deskBottom Then
w.Monitor = primaryMonId
w.ApplyChanges 3 'resize to fit and clip to workspace
End If
Next

For your specific script there's an easy fix, just ignore minimized windows in the loop at the end which moves offscreen windows to the primary monitor:
<![CDATA[For Each w In wnd.GetAppWindows(True) 'move all orphan windows to primary monitor
If w.ShowState <> 1 Then 'SHOWSTATE_MINIMIZED
If (w.Left + w.Width) <= deskLeft Or w.Left >= deskRight Or (w.Top + w.Height) <= deskTop Or w.Top >= deskBottom Then
w.Monitor = primaryMonId
w.ApplyChanges 3 'resize to fit and clip to workspace
End If
End If
Next]]>

That has solved it, but not sure why.
Was it trying to move minimised windows?

Yes, the coordinates for minimized windows are offscreen.
