I can still reproduce the issue:

Setup synergy with the Ubuntu 12.04 machine as master, Windows 7 machine as slave. 
"<super>" set as "Key to show the launcher" in CompizConfig Settings Manager. (default)

Go onto the Windows desktop.
Press the Windows key (super).
Windows start menu displayed.
Return to the Linux desktop.
launcher menu displayed. (as if Super pressed on Linux desktop).


Also the same for the HUD:

Key to show the HUD == "<alt>" (default).

Do alt-tab on Windows desktop via synergy.
On return to Linux screen HUD is displayed.

Conclusion: Super and Alt are being duplicated by Compiz/Unity.
