Bug Description

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch)
Release: 12.04

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
unity:
  Installiert: 5.4.0-0ubuntu2
  Kandidat: 5.4.0-0ubuntu2
  Versionstabelle:
 *** 5.4.0-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What you expected to happen
I shouldn't be able to interact with minimized windows in Expo-mode.

4) What happened instead
I can drag a minimized window, in Expo-mode, to another workspace.
All I have to do is to start a drag operation from the position where
the window was.

This also affects me. In case the initial description isn't 100% clear, the dragging of where the minimised window was previously must be done from the Workspace Switcher view of the multiple desktops (at least for me).

that must have something to do with the minimized window previews implementation in Unity which is a bit hacky ?
