As Norbert noted there, the bug in Ubuntu will be fixed if/when Ubuntu
upgrades to a newer version of texlive-xetex.

Jonathan's patch has been included in Debian. From the changelog:
* TeX Live 2007.2 release incorporation: fixes for xetex and xdvipdfmx,
new patches tl2007.2-xetex and tl2007.2-xdvipdfmx
(adapted from Jonathan Kew's original patches to work with
poppler)
Version 2007.dfsg.1-3 including this fix was released on 2008-04-20.
To late for Ubuntu 8.04 ...
