I still have the exact same problem on Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric.
And launching "unity --reset" doesn't help.
The problem is annoying and reproductible.
I open (let's say) a terminal, a firefox, an instance of Eclipse.
When they're all maximized, everything works fine.
If i minimize a window, then i alt-tab immediately (or later) to this application, the maximized position is not well restored : it's just like the window is restored to the the 0x0 coordinate instead of just below the "unity main control bar".
