So maybe this is specific to gnome-terminal? The characters are inserted into the terminal which gains focus because of the desktop switch. The terminal gets the letter 'A' if I desktop switch 'up' and 'B' if it gained focus because of a desktop switch down. It does not matter if the terminal which gains focus is on the primary or secondary monitor. However if the terminal on the secondary monitor remains in focus both before and after the desktop switch, then no character is inserted....
Extremely wild guess and likely wrong, but wondering if there is a connection to bug 720714
