Wow, nice catch. This makes Unity 7 work 100 times better for me now,
and it solves some additional bugs in addition to the ones mentioned
above:

- Nautilus copy progress window doesn't hide or get lost altogether
- Apps that were hidden into the system tray (Clementine, SpiderOak, Pidgin, etc.) used to restore to the dock, but not actually appear if another app was maximized. This required restoring and then clicking on the dock icon to actually make it visible. With focus prevention set to off it works correctly.

Title:
  Consider setting default for "Focus prevention windows"  to false

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Is the current default of "low" actually doing anything positive?
  Two examples of where low interferes & "Off" produces expected behavior

  Download something in Firefox
  Go > expose FF dropdown for downloads
  R. click on the dl > Open containing folder
  Folder opens but with out focus

  With a nautilus window open open a terminal
  run nautilus --new-window
  new nautilus window opens but not on top or in focus

  With the option set to Off the 2 above examples work as expected

  Also may be behind Bug #1437764
