This bug also affects me. It's verry annoying when you are with your mouse on a certain monitor and try to open a window and it pops on the monitor.
I looked into compiz windows placement plugin and it is set to:
Placement Mode: Smart
Multi Output Mode: "Use output device with pointer"

An example of this bug would be:
you open gedit on monitor 1. go to Edit->Preferences. The preferences window opens on the second monitor.
