yes that works for me too (amd64, hdparm 9.15-1ubuntu4).

remaining problem for me: id like to use the "sleep" commando to put a drive 
into sleep mode (hdparm -Y) concurrently with setting the standby timer:
/dev/sdb {
        spindown_time = 240
        sleep
}

this gets executed with the patch, but the drive spins up instantly again. i 
dont fully understand the /lib/udev/hdparm script, but i guess the two commands 
i use are issued together and hdparm sends -Y before -S internally. this would 
explain the observed behaviour.
a fix for the script would handle -Y and -y commands differently (like it is 
done for -f (flush). a better way would be to ensure, that hdparm does issus 
-Y/-y last, if there are multiple command line issues in one call.
i should probably open another bug report?
