In the Window Manager Tweaks dialog, I have the "Draw frame around selected windows while cycling" setting enabled. I love this feature a lot. Recently, I enabled the compositor since I liked the drop shadow. With this setting enabled, I found that when cycling, the first selected window (i.e. the most recently active window) does _not_ get its frame drawn. Subsequent windows do have the frame, and using Alt-Shift-Tab to cycle back to the 2nd window succeeds in drawing its frame. In fact, simply pressing the shift key while the 2nd window is selected causes its frame to be drawn. Disabling compositing is a workaround for this issue. I'm using Arch Linux's distribution of Xfwm4 4.6.2. My GL renderer string is "GeForce 9500 GT/PCI/SSE2" and my version string is "3.3.0 NVIDIA 260.19.12". Please let me know if I can give any more information.
I'm getting a similar behaviour with one konsole window and two gvim windows and I'm not sure whether I have compositing enabled. I'm on Mageia v6 x86-64. See http://www.shlomifish.org/Files/files/video/xfce-bug-no-hilited-frame-on-alt-tab-on-two-gvim-windows--mgav6-x86-64-linux.ogv for a video demonstrating it . Alt tab makes the frame disappear on one of the gvim windows.
Yours is a different bug from this one, and appears only when the compositor is disabled apparently.
