I get exactly his behavior (and his occurs during a game, not during the frontend) except the game crashes :( also you lose all sound from the frontend and 2nd game after the game is forced back in focus from its minimized state and the minimize crash also affects the 2nd game in Vista. I can't verify if it affects the frontend in vista because the frontend still doesn't minimize correctly for Vista.

I already had this kind of issues when I was using graphical programs to customize my desktop. Do you use anything ? I use Serious Samurize, and objectdock plus.
Do you use any "mac like" dock ? Anything attached to your desktop which isn't a part of windows ?
I run it with a clean desktop after a fresh install of windows and the bug is present.
It always happens to me (windows xp sp2/3), but it doesn't always crash. I sometimes get a gray window in the top left corner of my screen- that's when I have to end W:A using taskmanager. Most of the time it maximizes back and I can continue the next round/game.
