Here is a case where this matters:

1) Open a xterm in workspace 1, place in center of desktop
2) Switch to workspace 2
3) Open mozilla (or any other large window) and move to center of desktop
4) Switch back to workspace 1
5) Right click on the xterm and select move to workspace 2
6) You will be taken to workspace 2 but the xterm will be hidden
behind the mozilla window.

Since focus is never given to the xterm when you right click on it it
never gets moved ahead of the mozilla window in the screen stack.
