I partially agree. This drawer delay has been around FOREVER and no movement whatsoever has been made on it. It seems as if the bug is well documented with various cases where the behavior does and does not appear (seems to be tied to compiz as the drawers behave as expected when compiz is turned off).
As drawers are used by a lot of people and compiz as well, it affects all those people. A seemingly small fix would affect a lot of people. This bug has been open for a long time and gets a lot of comments. There is interest here.
