I asked about this to Canonical support. Here is their reply with
regards to Ubuntu:
"OpenJDK 7 is affected too. Please note that in Precise and Oneiric,
openjdk-7 is in universe, so updating it is not a priority [ for
Canonical]. So in the meantime use OpenJDK 6."

Knowing Oracle's strict updates schedule, version 7 won't have updates
before next month, which may then take some time to reach the proper
community channels.

This echoes the recommendations I've seen here to user version 6 as its
more stable with LibO.

Thanks for all the replies,
