Good catch Jendrik! What happens is that clicking anywhere outside of the application's overview will 'quit' the overview and gets you back to the window you were at before.

summary: - Cannot switch from one application's overview to another application
+ [workspace switcher] Clicking on launcher's applications should show
+ windows of selected application

I investigated this issue.
It might require an additional dbus call.
we need to send the information from switcher to launcher.
