I also get this with current feisty.
After a little experimentation, it seems that when switching from a workspace that has a window focused to another one with windows, one of the windows on the target workspace gets focus. However, if the previous workspace has no windows, or none of them have focus, no window on the target workspace gets focus either.
This doesn't make sense, is inconsistent (why should the focusing of windows on the target workspace depend on the situation on the previously selected workspace?), and differs from the way Metacity behaves.
