The workaround *kinda* works. Here's how it did for me:
1. start ccsm
2. activate Ubuntu Unity Plugin -> Switcher -> Key to flip through the windows 
in the switcher. You will find this option is deactivated. Binding it will not 
unbind alt+circumflex right away
3. activate Application Switcher Plugin. Click through errors for doubly used 
bindings
4. play around with both plugins to no avail, notice how alt+circumflex can't 
be unbound
5. restart system and magically find key unbound

Title:
  "ALT + circumflex" can be set in the keybinding settings and conflict
  with unity

Status in Compiz Core:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 11.10

  "ALT + circumflex" can be mapped in the keyboard settings despite
  being reserved for the new ALT + tab extended functionality, making it
  execute two functions at once with severe side effects (GUI freeze,
  but keys are still responsive -> key smashing during freeze results in
  possible destruction of user data).
