I looked into the bug and there are two problems here:

a) metacity handles switch_window special by adding a implicit binding for 
backwards that is the forward binding plus the "Shift" key (even if 
switch_window_backwards is disabled) - this confuses compiz that tracks 
switch_window and switch_window_backwards
b) the setting for swtich_window_backwards in our metacity package got broken 
during a merge in 1:2.27.1-0ubuntu1 (Sep 2009) 

I attach a patch that fixes the problem on the compiz level by adding
code to follow that implicit behavior. But for a SRU it is probably more
suitable to add the gconf default back (but we need to test if that is
sufficient).
