Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Unfortunately, we cannot drop a new version of sqlite3 into a stable release (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates) without a lot of testing since so many apps use sqlite. Also, per http://sqlite.org/news.html, the sqlite authors say upgrading is optional from 3.7.2 to 3.7.3 or 3.7.4. If there is an improvement to be had, it would be much better to be able to find that commit from sqlite that fixes it and have a test case to verify that it does indeed solve a problem. A minimal change is desired for a stable release.
