My current workaround is to use Sun's latest JDK 6 binary for Linux. It seems as if this bug was solved.
It's also pretty safe -- the archive opens in a single directory and does not install files anywhere else. So, when this bug eventually is fixed for Ubuntu, you can simply delete the directory.

Download from here:

Perhaps the solution is simply to update Ubuntu's repositories to the latest build of JDK 6.
