Ok after digging a bit, the problem is that .acknowledged is only set for notifications that are in the queue, but (notificationDaemon.js:564) resident notifications are not queued if the originating app is currently focused. A good fix, for which you can prepare a patch if you want, is to mark those notifications as immediately acknowledged, since that's the point. All other cases, including resident notifications for background apps (such as rhythmbox changing song), should be already covered.
