I can't reproduce any of this, it looks fine for me.

If you do this:

1. position window X so half of it is right of the screen.
2. Initiate switcher in normal mode using Alt-Tab.
3. Switch until you get to window X. (don't terminate the switcher) 
4. Initiate rotate using Control-Alt-Button1.
5. Rotate so you're in front of window X, which should be floating
slightly above the cube.

Is window X rendered correctly when doing this? It should be.

That should definitely work. It's pretty easy to test, especially when
using slow animations (Shift-f10), right? I don't know why it's broken
for you, maybe clip planes are broken in your driver. What HW/driver are
you using?
