I've been using the Ubuntu (jaunty) and Debian (lenny) builds of 2.2.8-1 on both Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 to avoid this.
It would be nice to get that 2.2.8-1 release into the updates repository for Ubuntu 8.04 ad 8.10, but there does not seem to be a Ubuntu maintainer for cfengine.
Ubuntu 8.10 uses cfengine 2.2.7, which still suffers from a serious bug: /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ cfengine2/ +bug/278092
