Although I can currently recreate the bug with "Files" (Nautilius, is it?), I remember having seen such a thing before with other windows, although only with previous Ubuntu versions.
The bug is as follows. In the current desktop, I open Files (and I see the arrows on the left saying how many of such windows are open). It only happens if "Files" is open once. I click on a partition that is not automatically mounted on startup (e.g. a Windows partition) (I haven't tested with one that automatically mounts but is not a part of /), regardless of whether it was previously mounted or not.
When I switch away from that window (e.g. click on Firefox), then I click back on its icon, I get a new "Files" window, rather than the old one I had open, which was viewing the windows partition. If you can't replicate this, try CTRL+L (leave the cursor on the path box) on that window and then switch away and back.
Note that with ALT+TAB and ALT+` I can see the window alright. Also, if there is more than one "Files" window, whether all looking at windows partitions or not, there is no problem, even if the first such window was the last to be viewed, clicking on the "Files" icon correctly returns to that window.
In summary, when "Files" is opened once and viewing a windows partition, clicking on a different application and back on its icon opens a new "Files" window rather than switch to the old one.
