It does if you have multiple monitors > I occasionaly get to > this state by having an unmaximized app window, and then after forgetting > it is always on top, maximize the app window.

This would not be appropriate in the case of dual monitors. In fact the problem you describe is not to do with being full screen, but due to having the AOT window larger than the other app window and completely covering it. If you have a large (but not full screen) AOT window with a small window behind it you get exactly the problem you describe. I think that if you select AOT then this is just a situation that you have to watch out for.
