Jacob, 
despite Canonical's fault is that it hasn't even mentioned this bug, they 
cannot provide assistance for it. 

"So it is not an issue in the input-output code, it is a bigger issue - in the
XKM format. This causes problems when configuration is passed through binary 
files."

"This problem is very visible now - the default GNOME switcher Alt-Alt is broken
- because virtual modifiers RAlt/LAlt are not passed to X server."

These quotes are taken from the upstream bug report 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4927
which explains why this bug couldn't be fixed before 8.04 shipping and also 
before Xorg 7.4. It seems to be requiring a relevant architecture change in the 
keyboard manager subset.

I'm also waiting for it to be fixed. If some Canonical dev can help the
guys at Xorg would be a nice contribution for the whole community since
this bug has a relevant major impact on the user experience.
