Er... why is this my bug?

You seems to be confused by the different components. The _NET_SUPPORTED is set by the window manager which supports _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION and set it when needed. 

The taskbar may not show it, but that's another problem. The taskbar is not supposed to change the _NET_SUPPORTED hint anyway.

If you use the taskbar from GNOME for example with xfwm4, it will show the corresponding item blinking. So I change yo bug report to a feature request.

BTW the taskbar in 4.4 supports it so it's already there.

So it's good :)
