Just want to make you guys aware that this bug has been addressed in KDE. 
It is an option in the "display" settings in the systems settings that also currently carries a warning that it "breaks minimize". 
What I think (I've not confirmed it) they have done is that kwin is faking minimize by hiding windows, but still making their content visible to the internal KDE implementation of compiz. This way windows are not visible to you, but are visible to the compositing engine.
Works quite nice with the KDE "place windows" task switcher, which is a better version of compiz's "scale" plugin. I just wish KDE was a little faster.
