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.
