Just a quick update on this issue. I finally decided to submit a bug report via Ubuntu's Launchpad, as I didn't see any other similar bugs in their database. ( Bug report is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392197 )
It looks as if the issue has now been resolved and the fix is available for the next release (9.10 - Karmic Koala). However, I was able to download the appropriate .DEB file for my architecture and install it on a 9.04 box, and it does appear to work as advertised.
