I can confirm this on Metacity and compiz. Ring switcher in compiz doesn't work either with d & d.

Thank you for helping with making Ubuntu and the window manager Metacity better by reporting this bug. I'm setting the status to Triaged and the importance to Low since the bug has been triaged and it is not a major problem.
It has already been reported and is being discussed upstream, I'm linking the bug report. A patch is attached which is said to be shipped with Fedora.
