I played around a bit and found out that it still happens in Edgy.
To reproduce, execute for example gaim and gvim or gconf-editor so that they all appear from history when you type the letter g.
In order to make this bug more obvious, start gconf-editor and edit /apps/deskbar/typingdelay to something big, e.g. 2000 ms.
Now go to the taskbar and type "g". Wait the 2 seconds for the list to appear. gaim will be listed above gvim because of the alphabetical sorting. Now finish typing "gvim" and press enter immediately (without waiting the 2 seconds). Gaim will be executed although you typed "gvim<enter>"
As a workaround I set the typingdelay in gconf-editor to 0 but that's a bit of a dirty hidden trick ;)
