On the Oneiric release candidate, I can reproduce this consistently with vim and gvim - just start vim from the terminal, then close it and compiz hangs. (The fact that vim, a terminal program, was affecting my window/compositing manager was particularly confusing.) Disabling File Watcher solves it.
