Just commenting that this happens not just with firefox and chrome, but with all applications that have a fullscreen option with F11. However, I also observed that while the dash itself is not summoned, the current window loses focus, and it would appear that keystrokes are sent elsewhere as well. This made me suspect that maybe the dash was being summoned in the background. However, trying to "blindly" open an app by tapping it's name after pressing ALT+F2 results in nothing at all... So my theory is not completely right. So I decided to see what is happening behind the full screen window, and set it to a low transparency in compiz. I can confirm now that the dash is indeed summoned, but it remains in the background. Keystrokes do not go for it neither, so I am not sure what window has focus in that situation...
