In my case, the effect of unread notifications is the one you can

In this screenshot there are two unread notifications: one from
mail-notification and the other one from radiotray.
For instance, in case of radiotray, when a new song begin, I can see
the related popup if there is already a related unread notification.
Basically, the notification manager (the icon in your screenshot) is
always in control about the behaviour. The manager can do whatever it
wants basically. So it could always show a new notification, if set to
do so.
Applications can request a certain behaviour, and the way that they send
notifications to the manager can affect how things appear. E.g. GNOME
apps usually use 'persistent' notifications (which is why I assume
they're behaving differently). But the 'manager' (again, the icon) is
always in control. That bit actually decides if to show a popup or not.
So suggest to file a bug against that icon.
Note that some apps do their own popups, I'm just talking about anything
linked against libnotify.
