Thanks for the clear description of what's going on, and the
.sawfish/custom file.

That's probably intentional, though I can see how it would be annoying
when you really want to use one.  I assume it's just the standard GNOME
file browser; I know they have plans to make a better one of those in a
future release of GNOME.

So, in the global keymap (which applies to the workspace switcher and
any other window), you have Alt-Left and Alt-Right bound to
previous-workspace and next-workspace.  But in the root window keymap,
you have them bound to move-workspace-backwards and
move-workspace-forwards, which do the funky thing you don't expect. 
Remove those bindings from the root window keymap and you should be
fine.
