I've found a bit of hope with this problem. Asking about raise/lower on
the #compiz channel, I was pointed to the vigo plugin for compiz at:
http://www.acc.umu.se/~janlert/vigo/

Getting it to compile required a few additional packages (compiz-dev,
compiz-fusion-bcop, libtool). Other tools are probably necessary that I
already had installed (e.g. build-essential).

Once those packages were installed, I was able to do a 'make; make
install' and the plugin was built and installed into
~/.compiz/plugins/libvigo.so. Once installed, I was able to use the
CompizConfig Settings Manager (package compizconfig-settings-manager) to
go into the vigo plugin under "Window Management" and set the keybinding
I wanted. Logged out, killed the X server, logged back in and I have
raise-lower!

All that being said... this is *STILL* a bug in Ubuntu. There is still
UI element under System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > Window
Management   labeled "Raise obscured window, otherwise lower" that does
nothing but waste people's time.
