I have the same problem, here's my slightly different description:
1) Start Banshee.
2) Have another application open and *with focus*, e.g. Firefox.
3) Click on sound menu (volume icon in the top panel). Click on banshee.
OR
4) Press the "media" key on the keyboard.
The Banshee window is not raised to the front (and contrary to the case with the OP, there is no Unity sidebar pops up).
*The Banshee window is raised only if the Desktop area has focus*.
