This bug appears to relate to the "place windows" compiz plugin. I can reliably reproduce this issue by enabling or disabling the plugin.
With "place windows" plugin ENABLED:
* rotating the cube to the right will move all maximised windows to workspace 1, once the workspace with a maximised window on it is moved past.
With "place windows" plugin DISABLED
* maximised windows remain on their workspace when rotating through cube faces.
An associated bug is that when the "place windows" plugin is DISABLED, new un-maximised windows are placed on the desktop with their title bars behind the top panel. With the "place windows" plugin ENABLED, new un-maximised windows are placed with their title bar below the top panel.
