Do you physically have the number of monitors that you're specifying? I've already been told that if you don't then this issue is invalid.

I can’t reproduce this. It works correctly for me as long as the "numscreens" value is no larger than the number of physical displays.

Happens to me with:
- 2 monitors and numscreens 2
- 3 monitors and numscreens 2
- 3 monitors and numscreens 3

Specifying a higher numscreens than the number of monitors creates minimized windows only (and shouldn't be done anyway).
