I've just spent quite a bit of time testing the current version of abiword in Quantal and all seems quite well. This is the most current snippet from the changelog:

abiword (2.9.2+svn20120603-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * build verbosity increased with --disable-silent-rules
  * lintian-overrides:
    + 'hardening-no-fortify-functions' (false-positives).
    + 'dev-pkg-without-shlib-symlink' (libabiword-2.9.so is a library,
      not a symlink).
  * new patches:
    + format-hardening.patch to avoid FTBFS on --with-gtk2 build.
    + fix-wheel-scrolling.patch (Closes: #672149).
    + fix-paste.patch (backported) with fix for
      "Crash on unicode character paste" (Closes: #681060).
    + no-dbl-buf.patch to disable double buffering in order to prevent
      crash on 'Paste Unformatted'.

Certainly it needs to be tested by other users but this is a huge step in the right direction. Many thanks to Dmitry Smirnov.
