I was just burned by this too. In Thunderbird, I installed an add-on called Zindus. I opened the Zindus Configuration Settings dialog, then pressed Add to add an account. Compiz forced the resulting New Account dialog to fit inside the parent Configuration Settings dialog and wouldn't let me resize it. I had no idea how to fix the problem, and only when I read this ticket did I realize that if I made the parent dialog larger then the child dialog would appear large enough.

I think this behavior is absolutely a bug.
