3) What I expected to happen is on my Maverick host, when I have a fullscreened or unmaximized Firefox window on workspace 1, and a full screened VBox guest Maverick on workspace 3, I can right click the Firefox window -> Move to Another Workspace -> Workspace 3 the Firefox window does so.

4) What happens instead is that it does not. Seems like a VBox+Xorg issue as I can move the window to other workspaces and back no problem.

Are you sure Firefox is not just showing up underneath the fullscreen VM window?

Mechanical snail, thank you for following up with this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The answer to this question is Yes (I just re-tested after fully updating, same thing). One may confirm this situation and mark this bug confirmed when done.
