I started a discussion on unity-design mailing list (require joining 
the unity-design launchpad team), but no answer yet.

There are keyboard changes on the way, you might be able to place 
windows left/right with super+→ and super+← but it's still the broken 
version, we need to raise this issue with design, or the same behaviour 
for 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9 *will* be broken for Precise+1
