Not sure what the bug fix will bring, but Alt+Grave should behave differently than Alt+Tab with regards to switching between two prevously viewed windows. Say Gedit has 3 windows open (Window-A and Window-B and Window-C). Alt+Tab will switch back and forth between last two focused windows, say Window-A and Window-C.

If Window-A has focus > press Alt+Tab = Window-C gets focus.
If Window-C has focus > press Alt+Tab = Window-A gets focus.

If Alt+Grave is pressed, focus should go from currently focused window to next same-applicaion-window. So say Window-A has focus. Pressing Alt+Grave will give Window-B focus. Pressing Alt+Grave again will give Window-C focus. Pressing Alt+Grave again will give Window-A focus. This makes a lot more sense than having Alt+Grave work the same way that Alt+Tab does. Alt+grave just cycles between all available windows of the same application, but Alt+Tab goes back and forth between last 2 focused windows and also allows access to all application windows.
