It's not a bug, and configurable. The default actions for all the
focus cycle actions are unshade, raise, focus. I use this for A-Tab
for example:

  <keybind key="A-Tab">
    <action name="NextWindow">
      <finalactions>
        <action name="focus"/>
        <action name="raise"/>
      </finalactions>
    </action>
  </keybind>

It's the same for the directional bindings, just find all
DirectionalCycle* in your rc file and add that finalactions tag. Ie:

  <keybind key="W-Left">
    <action name="DirectionalFocusWest">
      <finalactions>
        <action name="focus"/>
        <action name="raise"/>
      </finalactions>
    </action>
  </keybind>

(The action tag is probably closed, ie ends with /> rather than just
>, so watch out for that.)
