This bug was fixed in the package gnome-shell - 3.25.91-0ubuntu5
---------------
gnome-shell (3.25.91-0ubuntu5) artful; urgency=medium
Changes for ubuntu session:
* 71_smarter_alt_tab.patch
- quick alt-tab (without showing up the switcher) switch only between
the last window of the last 2 applications to be focused instead of
raising all windows of those apps. (LP: #1716921)
* 72_consistent_alt_key_above_tab_behavior.patch:
- ensure alt + key above tab, when the switcher is opened, focus the first
window and not directly the second one of an application. This is
relevant as the select window part of the switcher is only raising the
selected window, not the whole application. (LP: #1716872)

Title:
Alt+Tab inconsistent behavior between Alt+<key above tab> and down
arrow key
Status in GNOME Shell:
Confirmed
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
There is an inconsistent behavior when you want to only raise the last
focused window of an application:
1. Press Alt+Tab until the switcher is visible and you go to the hilight the
desired multi-window application. Keep alt pressed
2. a) if you press the down arrow key, the first window of that application
is hilighted and you can raise only that instance if desired
b) if you press key-above-tab (² or ~, depending on your keyboard
configuration), however the second window of that application is highlight, so
you need to cycle back all the way down to first one to only raise that one.
I suggest that when the switcher is displayed, after an alt-tab with
alt keep being pressed, the first key-above-tab press highlight the
first window instead of the second (as if you pressed the down arrow
key).
