I forgot follow is on by default for SendToDesktop, which is not so
great in the ForEach action, add <follow>no</follow> in there after
the </to> and it should work.

I was going to suggest the following too,

<item label="Swap windows with last desktop">
  <action name="ForEach">
    <omnipresent>no</omnipresent>
    <then>
      <action name="If">
        <desktop>current</desktop>
        <then>
          <action name="SendToDesktop">
            <to>last</to>
            <follow>no</follow>
          </action>
        </then>
        <else>
          <action name="If">
            <desktop>last</desktop>
            <then>
              <action name="SendToDesktop">
                <to>current</to>
                <follow>no</follow>
              </action>
            </then>
          </action>
        </else>
      </action>
    </then>
  </action>
</item>

(yay nested tags), but as it turns out, I never thought to add "last"
as a possible condition for the if/foreach desktop tag. The above
should work in the next release though :).
