Sorry, I've just noticed that for some reason this fix has not been
included in the SRU package that just landed in unity proposed, so the
fact it fails the verification is normal.

Title:
  Fullscreen window set to "Always on Top" in single-monitor will hide
  the lockscreen

Status in Unity:
  In Progress
Status in Unity 7.2 series:
  In Progress
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  A fullscreen window set to "always on top" hides the lockscreem.

  [Test Case]
  (1) Open a video in Totem
  (2) Right-click on the titlebar and set Totem to "Always on Top"
  (3) Make Totem full screen (eg. with the F11 key or clicking on the control)
  (4) Manually Lock the screen using Super+L
  (5) Notice that the lockscreen is hidden by totem.

  If you don't lock it manually and just pause the video and let it lock
  automatically this will show the same behavior.

  The same behavior occurs with any application that can enter full
  screen mode.

  [Regression Potential]Two cases may potentially source regressions.
  (1) windows that need to appear above the lockscreen, such as on-screen keyboards,
  (2) applications presenting fullscreen windows using unusual or non-standard toolkits.It is unlikely that regressions in either of these cases would be introduced by this bug fix, but rather would be pre-existing problems not fixed here.
  (3) Indicator menus might be not being drawn
