I am not seeing that in Precise or Quantal.
Open Nautilus and browse to folder containing LO document
Double click the document to open LO
Switch back to Nautilus so the document is behind it
Double click the file again and it is brought to the front.

I do see a problem if the open document is moved to a different
workspace (is that what you mean by virtual desktop?).  In that case
when I double click it in nautilus the LO icon in the launcher
jiggles, but that is all, and it only does that the first time.  It is
not limited to LO however, I see the same issue with pdf documents
opened in Document Viewer.

I don't know whether this was a design decision or a bug.  Does anyone know?
