I experienced the behaviour described in #844119 (which led me here, because it is a duplicate) and it seems I found a workaround.
1) The behaviour I had:
To reproduce:
* Open Libre Office Writer
* Open a few other applications such a Firefox and Thunderbird
* Hit Alt-Tab and switch to Firefox
* Hit Alt-Tab again while keeping Alt depressed
Expected behavior:
* Libre Office should be in the list of available switchable applications
Actual behavior:
* Libre Office is not in the list of available switchable applications when hitting Alt-Tab and keeping Alt depressed
* Libre Office is not switched back to when tapping Alt-Tab quickly (the last-used application before Libre Office is jumped to)
2) my configuration:
- Precise Pangolin (12.04)
- libreoffice3.4* packages installed
- the LibreOffice PPA (https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa) added in my source.list
- libreoffice* packages installed (note the lack of version number at the end of the package name), which is actually LibreOffice 3.5.5.2
- bamfdaemon 0.2.118-0ubuntu0.2

- bamfdaemon 0.2.118-0ubuntu0.2
3) the workaround (to be confirmed by others)
- uninstall libreoffice3.4* packages (sudo aptitude remove libreoffice3.4*)
This way, I can now switch (alt-tab) between Firefox and libreoffice
