Public bug reported:

Both "Application switcher" and the "Static application switcher"
include an option "Focus on switch". According to the description, this
option ensures that, while switching windows (typically with alt-tab),
the currently selected window gets focus, rather than postponing the
change of focus until the user terminates the window switching (i.e.
releases the alt button).

Enabling this option does not reliably cause compiz to focus on switch.
On two occasions I have actually observed the expected behaviour.
However, at latest after session logout and login, the option fails to
work. Instead, focus remains with the original window until the window
switching is terminated.

This bug occurs in both switching plugins (which are in different
packages). Therefore I submit this bug to the compiz package.

Ubuntu release: 11.10 (oneiric)
package versions:
compiz: 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu3
compiz-plugins-default: 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu3
compiz-plugins: 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu3
