Some progress, at last. I believe trunk dodges this bug now. The maximize function should be gone in unity-2d. Same in (unaffected) gnome, but not in (apparently unaffected) unity.
From testing on Precise (hope the table comes out right):
maximize available fixed
unity yes not affected
unity-2d no yes
gnome-shell no not affected
gnome classic no not affected

The fix should be in soon-to-be-released 0.97.
