Yes, as long as these "alternate GUIs" are using Ubuntu 12.10 packages (Kubuntu 12.10, Xubuntu 12.10, etc).

The bug seems pretty clear and simple :
They wanted to hide the tabs bar in "chromeless mode" when there is only one tab, but in the code they added a test which only checks if there is only one tab, not caring about the window "mode". The new patch adds a test to check if the window is in "chromeless mode", so the bar will not be hidden for classic chromium windows.

So, I'm confident it is a one-off issue.
