If you won't call it a bug, don't ask others to do so. Using [SUPER] on a window-management level is absolutely what the key is cut out for. The other modifiers are often already mapped within creative software suites, the help zooming, grabbing and moving, extruding and duplicating in an intuitive and fast way, as if they were additional mouse keys. The only way to really avoid breaking these application specific bindings of modifier keys is to assign one main modifier to the window management operations, and to free the other keys for application specific usage. Unity is on it's way there, if i guessed correctly.
