I too have this bug and I can confirm that it's related to Compiz drawing the desktop (Nautilus show desktop disabled).

I have it in 13.04 and 13.10 running in VirtualBox and also booting the ISO image with Grub entry created by grml-rescueboot. It happens with NVIDIA drivers (tested on 13.04) and Nouveau, LLVMpipe and VirtualBox drivers (tested on 13.10).

The easiest way to reproduce this bug is to open terminal (it must be the only visible window). Then type nautilus -q which will temporarily kill Nautilus (desktop will be rendered with Compiz). The last step minimize or close terminal window.

This results in animation hang and entire desktop hang. Unity doesn't respond on keys being pressed (Super, Alt (Tap), Alt + F2 or F10). When the desktop finally returns to normal I see all those actions that I triggered before (Dash opening, HUD opening and so on).
