Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x2800020 (Steam)

Problem

A window manager return a warning that appear to be related to the ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam process because of the 0x2800020 (Steam) message

metacity --replace
Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x2800020 (Steam)
Window manager warning: meta_window_activate called by a pager with a 0 timestamp; the pager needs to be fixed.

Same on Gnome Shell 3.6 (mutter).

The next client will be somewhat better at this, but we have some issues with the initial timestamp that we can't easily resolve so it won't be perfect.

I get those errors while not having steam on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

I would also like a fix for the timestamps. The way it currently is, Steam simply forces itself over any application regardless of the window manager behavior. It should have a correct timestamp so the window manager can do the correct thing (e.g. show a notification that an application wants focus) instead of Steam breaking into whatever the user is currently doing.
