Not a bug, feature, it's supposed to maximize windows that are "almost"
maximized. It does that on window map, so switching workspaces, as well
as launching the app, should maximize:

$ gconftool-2 --get /apps/metacity/general/auto_maximize_windows

You can disable with:
$ gconftool-2 --set --type bool /apps/metacity/general/auto_maximize_windows 
false

Please reopen if that does not "fix" your issues.

Title:
  Unity destroys window layout (maximize) on switching workspaces

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Committed
Status in Unity 2D:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity-2d” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  If I arrange two overlapping windows on a workspace (i.e. a 80% sized
  FireFox overlapping a littly VLC player) on switching from this
  workspace to another workspace and back destroys my window layout and
  the large window (FireFox, Thunderbird, etc.) is maximized.

  As a user I want unity to retain my window layout per workspace.  Esp.
  after I manually un-maximized and arranged my windows manually.

  
  -----------------------------------------------
  Desired resolution:

  - Shifting between workspaces should not change the window layout on
  any workspace in any way
