I see the exact same behavior, when I switch to a lower resolution
certain windows disappear from the window list and from the desktop. I
did not realize before reading this bug that the ones that disappear are
those that are larger than the resolution I'm switching to (maximized
windows do not disappear though).

I can also confirm that it only manifests itself in compiz, the
workaround I'm using to get my windows back is using the effects tab in
the appearance settings window (not sure what the exact English names
are) and switching to none and then back to the normal setting.

I experience the exact same thing on two different computers, one Dell
D620 and one MacBook Pro, both with Nvidia graphics and I'm using the
nvidia-settings application to switch resolutions. It seems that Kai is
using Intel graphics so this should not be hardware dependent. The
MacBook is using a fresh install of 9.04 amd64 and the Dell has been
upgraded from 8.04 or 7.10 or similar. This problem has existed on my
Dell since atleast 8.10.
