OK, I have found the two causes of this bug. Half in Unity half in compiz.

1. As per comment #3, Unity key callbacks return false, which means compiz should pass the keys on to apps. They should be returning true.

2. Compiz incorrectly passes the keys though to apps even if a plugin has handled it and returned true. But only if a plugin is bound to <modifier> and the user presses <modifier>+<other-key>. Like Unity is bound to <Alt> and you press <Alt+F2>
