I don't know for sure, but my strong suspicion is that no one who is in a position to fix the problem has any intention of ever working on it. This report has been open for a long time and nothing much has happened. I see no reason to believe a fix will ever happen. A non-charitable reading would be that apathy has taken hold. A charitable one (which I think might be more accurate) is that Canonical is resource limited and is now far beyond its capacity to cope with bug reports, which become more numerous as the popularity of Ubuntu grows. I would, of course, be very pleased to be proven wrong, but I fear I won't be. As it stands, my Ubuntu laptop, which worked fine a few releases ago, is suffering from multiple crippling bugs, all of which have long standing open bug reports confirmed by multiple sources, all of which have been ignored much like this one. I can no longer use it terribly effectively -- USB is failing, my wireless card will not recover from sleep without a reboot and stops working for several seconds every couple of minutes, etc -- and I'm soon going to to have to abandon Ubuntu in order to be able to use my laptop again. It is a great shame, but it appears that, as it stands, Ubuntu is slowly falling apart, apparently because its popularity has strained the limited support resources beyond the breaking point. Perhaps this is a lesson in how a distribution like this can or cannot be managed in a scalable fashion.
