It's a Metacity thing.  :-)

It sounds reasonable (to me at least).  Feel free to file a bug
(please double check for duplicates first--I don't believe this is one
but there have been at least a few requests for other alt-tab
enhancements).  As far as screenshots, that'll have to wait for the
compositing manager (isn't that expocity type stuff?)

I don't know when anyone will have time to get around to implementing
any of this, though...

Hope that helps,
Elijah
