I was reading the various parts of the switcher code on the train today, and doing some testing with:

  for i in $(seq 12) ; do pango-view --font 'Ubuntu 200' --text $i & done

it appears that the very act of Alt-Tabbing is changing the stack ordering, by causing each window to be momentarily raised. A simple test that reflect this is to Alt-Tab-Tab-Tab-Tab-Tab and then Shift-Tab an equal number of times back to the original window. This should cause no change to the stack ordering, but what is actually happening is that all of the windows that have been "touched" will now be moved to the top of the Alt-Tab list, in the reverse order.
