There is a fix in testing here:
https://launchpad.net/~timo-jyrinki/+archive/quantal-compiz-unity-testing  (ppa:timo-jyrinki/quantal-compiz-unity-testing). 

My findings:

I tested the packages in the PPA on a Dell XPS13 with 12.04 and all of the latest updates from precise-updates. My findings:
1) The display switch hotkey now works; pressing it cycles through video modes as expected. The 'p' character is not emitted.
2) A side effect of the fix is that the dash opens when you press the display switch hotkey

I think the side effect needs to be fixed.

Some more information about the side effect:
* The display switch hotkey is Fn-F1
* If you press Fn-F1 and release both Fn and F1 at the same time, the dash opens
* If you press Fn-F1 and release F1 before releasing Fn, the the dash does not open
* If you press Fn-F1 and release Fn before releasing F1, the dash opens
* If you press Fn-F1 and do not release either key, the Unity keyboard shortcuts window opens

The packages I tested from the PPA were:
compiz 1:0.9.7.8+bzr3121-0ubuntu2~test1
unity 5.18.0-0ubuntu2~test1
and the corresponding versions of libunity-core-5.0-5, unity-common, unity-services, compiz-core, compiz-gnome, and compiz-plugins-default
