What happens: when you press Alt-F1 you start the terminal AND start the launcher key navigation mode. This is currently not indicated due to bug 849561. In key navigation mode the clicks on the desktop aren't supposed to do anything (I guess), so this probably is no bug, just a weird current situation. Let's wait what the devs say. :-)
