This happens with any Flash video.  Go to youtube and start playing any
video and select full screen.  Then press your volume keys and note how
the video jumps out of full screen.  All notifications do this (new
email, IM changes etc) which is very highly annoying.

Under the hood (ie at the X level) I believe what is happening is that
the notify window is stealing focus from the fullscreen window.  It
shouldn't do this unless what it is showing is so important that my
choice to have a fullscreen window with focus must be ignored and
overridden.  Flash being proprietary has nothing to do with this.

Incidentally Windows does not have this problem.  My friend who I
converted to Ubuntu insisted on having a Windows partition just to watch
Hulu and similar Flash video because this behaviour annoyed her so much!
