That was the original plan, but I had some concerns about whether or not Alexandre would take this or not. When Rob Shearman tried to get these in last year, Alexandre asked him why it was necessary. At the time Rob said that without that call, the icons that docked were only 1 pixel wide. Now that isn't the case--without the call the icon width is perfectly fine, but docking isn't as reliable. Besides, doing an XSync is part of the canonical recipe for sending X events. Regardless, you've got a valid point--it does seem a little odd that this isn't part of patch #5. I think I'll try to work this in for the next update of these patches.
XSync is very bad on remote links, and it shouldn't be necessary. If it behaves better with it there's a problem somewhere.
