The multiwindow-mode window manager doesn't support or advertise support 
for _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN, so this doesn't work at the moment.

So, technically I guess this an application/toolkit problem, as it 
should notice that lack of support and e.g. grey-out the fullscreen 
option in the menu.

But ideally this would be fixed by adding support for 
_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN to the WM.
