This also applies to solr-jetty on 10.04. It is not just searches containing '.' either - we were seeing it with searches containing '/', so I'm guessing it can be triggered using a variety of non alpha numeric characters.
It was fixed upstream in Debian, and Natty according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/solr/+bug/684756 If using 1.4.1+dfsg1-1ubuntu1 package is an option, that should fix the issue. Or the manual symlink option works on all distros from what I can tell.
