I'll add more things to this bug.

When you have two maximized windows, one in front of another, you can't serially minimize them by repeatedly pressing the minimize button. The second click will fail, because the focus is in an already minimized window.

Even worse, if you have two maximized windows as before, minimize the first, and then try to close the second, compiz will crash (or close itself).

There is, of course, a "workaround" that is clicking in anyplace of the second maximized window to give it the focus. However, this is an extra, counter-intuitive, step. I, in my humble opinion, think that this is a serious bug that should be solve before the final release of Ubuntu 11.10.
