It seems this feature has not been implemented in the internal window manager.

There are basicly 3 possible ways

- wait until someone has the time to dig up documentation how the autoraise
  should work and fixes that bug

- dig up the documentation yourself and report which window manager message
  should be handled

- fix it yourself

The fastest is most likely number two.
