Bug Description
When a new Wayland session is created from a login, Alt-tab works as expected to change windows. After sometime Alt-tab fails to do anything (super-tab still works to change applications) and the following error is created in syslog:
gnome-shell[
The only workaround I have found is to logout and log back in, however after some time the error repeats itself.

I'm getting this error too, although in my case Super-tab doesn't work either. I have to log out and log in again.
