Public bug reported:

When displaying a full screen window that is unredirected, such as
Virtualbox or LibreOffice Impress, trying to Alt-Tab to a different
window does not display the Switcher.

This is due to how unredirected full screen windows are handled.  No
compositing occurs which in turn disables any Unity elements from
displaying on the screen.

I think this is a limitation since many users who are displaying a full
screen window that is unredirected would want to Alt-Tab to a different
window.
