I think the bug is still present in latest release. For after my upgarde from 10.10 (in which Compiz worked fine) I had to major issues:
1. X did not start. It crashed and I ended up in console 1. Manually setting the general vesa driver in /etc/Xorg worked was a temp solution. Final solution is described at the Natty Narwwhal Release Notes ("apt-get install linux-headers-generic-pae". See bug 772226.)
2. Next Unity freezes/hangs. Classic mode with visual effect also. Classic mode without visuals effects worked. At last!
