Sorry, at the moment we don't have an ETA for a fix. It's not likely to be fixed in the immediate future. I've added a note to the bug report on the NVIDIA bug tracker as a reminder to update this Launchpad thread when we have a fix in hand.

The only workaround I'm currently aware of is to use an older driver, but older drivers may not be compatible with newer X servers and kernels. The 304.xx series is maintained as a legacy branch, so it would be compatible with newer kernel / X server versions, and unless your hardware is especially new, there's a good chance that a 304.xx driver will work for you. The recently released 304.116 driver, for example, is compatible with Xorg up to 1.14 and Linux up to 3.12.
