The fix for this bug is the only difference between dictionaries-common 1.5.11 (which is what Ubuntu currently ships) and 1.5.12. Debian is currently at 1.5.14.
The upstream fix is to keep these files in dictionaries-common (they are included to override the ones in emacs, for a more or less good reason) but fix the incompatibility introduced by a syntax change in upstream Emacs (alleged to have occurred in 23.2, but obviously affecting emacs23 23.1+1-4ubuntu7).
I guess this might not qualify for an SRU, but should definitely be eligible to be uploaded to -backports.
