I can get it to happen with Preview and with Firefox (so I guess any  
application), but only if I have spaces configured to put that  
application on all spaces. If I only have the other application  
running in space 6, and I CTRL->arrow from space 5 where X11 is  
running to space 6 with the other app, and while still having the CTRL  
key held down from the first move arrow directly back to space 5 I do  
not see the problem. If I repeat that process with the other  
application running on all spaces, then I see the problem.

So in summary all I have to do is have an application configured to  
run in all spaces, and have that application actually running, to see  
the problem.

Typically I hold the CTRL key down, and "arrow around" with quick  
arrow presses until I reach the space I want, then I release the CTRL  
key.
