Ok, so I have now found that this doesn't occur all the time. Compiz gets into some sort of mode in which it does the stuff listed above. I'm not entirely sure how to get it into that mode though.
I've seen the same thing. Normally it works fine for a while on all workspaces after starting the gnome session, then after a while it loses the switcher, normally on the second and subsequent workspaces. Maybe the new compiz will fix this: bug #208044.
