(Get the code!)
Probably already been thought of, but can't bugs like this be fixed by changing the way compiz deals with workspaces.
Metacity under Gnome Fallback (which I use on my netbook as an alternative to Unity 2D), keeps workspaces totally separate. If things are moved to one side and sent over the edge they don't overlap another workspace. It's like each desktop is exactly that, it's own desktop as opposed to the sort of "flowing" model compiz has. Even more so when the window list is set to just show the current workspace's windows.
Couldn't compiz be made to do this, I can see it fixing a lot of problems. I can't see any case where having windows cross workspaces could be practical, actually quite to the contrary as shown by bugs like this. It's not even practical to use it as a tool for moving windows workspace to workspace as the title bar has to be dragged and that's always stuck on one workspace anyway. Expo/switcher and keyboard shortcuts are a lot more practical and convenient (for me at least).
Just an idea... probably over simplifying this a lot here, don't know the slightest thing about the backend of things :P Sorry...
