It's a bug in libwnck. For some reason it always assumes that the window manager doesn't support the above window state when _NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS is set.
Actually, it's more of a bug in the EWMH than in libwnck. The EWMH doesn't have a _NET_WM_ACTION_ABOVE, despite having so many other _NET_WM_ACTION_* abilities, so there's no way to advertise support for it. The only reason that the "on top" ability shows in the right-click window for tasklist items when metacity is the window manager, is because of a bug in metacity that causes _NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS to not be set on any "normal" windows. Combined with the fact that libwnck just takes a random guess at the provided abilities when this property is not set and you find that we have a cancellation of bugs that falsely gives the impression that things are working correctly for metacity+libwnck. We should push _NET_WM_ACTION_ABOVE on wm-spec-list and then get libwnck and compiz to support it (and metacity, but that's not relevant on this list; besides, metacity needs a lot more work than just this with the allowed actions stuff).
