I don't know if I would describe it as such a major change in existing
behavior... I'm sure there are many people who don't even use multiple
desktops.  The difference in behavior might be clear, but whether that
difference is good or not is a much fuzzier issue.

I guess it would be a good idea for one of us to leave a note too
(Casey or Richard are more familiar with the issue than me), but it's
still important for developers to hear from users.  I don't expect
they would change the behavior if you were the only person leaving a
comment, but your comment combined with other users will give them an
idea of how people expect their window manager to behave.
