I can confirm that this fullscreen behaviour is only in e16, Metacity handles the problems with "On top" and fullscreen windows "properly". There is bound to be problems if e16 continues to handle fullscreen windows slightly differently from other windows managers. For the sake of compability, this fullscreen windows behavior should be the same in e16 as in Gnome's Metacity and the KDE's kwin. Or else, no one will want to use the fullscreen feature, because it will break on some systems. I've filed a couple of bug-reports on e16's fullscreen windows previously, maybe I can help by doing some testing or something?
