I've also had this problem - two monitors of equal resolution and the
place plugin configuration seemingly ineffective. I think I have a
workaround by following comment 10 from bug #930660, specifically:

CCSM>General Options>Display Settings:
Overlapping Output handling=Prefer smaller output

CCSM>Place Windows>General:
Multi output mode=Use output device with pointer

It does appear to be related to compiz resolution handling, but affects
situations where the outputs are the same resolution. Some comments
indicate that the relative screen locations in the configuration may
also affect this issue, in case that helps with the debugging.

A simple test case is to open the print dialog on any application (e.g.
gedit) - this used to open on the wrong screen, but is fixed by changing
the overlapping output handling.
