I believe another example of this is when using the Chromium Hangouts
extension[1]. The extension uses Chromium Panels - small windows
anchored to the edge of the screen that appear on all workspaces - and
those panels have the same effect. See  "Panels window causes Workspace
switching focus to break"[2] for more.

Title:
  Always Visible and On Top Windows Steal Focus on Workspace Switch

Bug description:
  1. Open any application (e.g. TextEditor)
  2. Right click the title bar
   2a. Select "Always on Visible Workspace"
  3. Right click the title bar
   3a. Select "Always on Top"
  4. Open a different application (e.g. Terminal)
  5. Ensure that window has focus
  6. Switch workspaces (Notice: the first application now has focus)
  7. Return to first workspace (Notice: the second application does not regain focus)

  Expected:

  The initial application should not have ever regained focus, and
  certainly the second application should have it when returning to that
  workspace.
