I'd like to go on record as thinking Compiz not to be the culprit.  I
enable/disable it several times a day (youtube won't run at full-screen
with it enabled) and have no problem with <Alt><tab> either way.  
There are several different application switchers under Window
Management in CCSM, the first of which, at least on my Hardy box
and CCSM 0.7.6-Oubuntu1~ppa1 from ppa.launchpad.net, is Application
Switcher and has the <Alt><Tab> keybinding.  Is it maybe disabled on
your machine?
The Static Application Switcher has the same default keybinding.  Are
both possibly enabled?  That would likely cause problems.
Personally, I keep the first one, Application Switcher, on for my wife
as she is used to it, and Stack Window Switcher for me which defaults
to <Super><Tab> and have no problems with either.  I'm interested to
find out what the real problem actually is.  Did you mention upthread
which Ubuntu you are using?
