Attaching a debdiff cointaining the cherry-picked git commit. I have also uploaded it to this PPA, but it has the same commit as Geir Ove Myhr's PPA version which was confirmed to fix the problem by multiple people. I have also built -intel locally in lucid twice to verify that the bug does exist in the karmic 2.9.0 package and is fixed by this update thanks to the excellent testcase in comment 13.
