I originally filed this bug against 9.04, which predates bug #457688, which first appeared in 9.10. So without any testing I can say for certain this bug is different. None of the reports mention the graphics that are used and hence are quite irrelevant to this bug. This bug never occurred with nvidia graphics enabled. It is of course possible that the problems described here are fixed in Lucid if you get visual to run in the first place, but in this case my bet would be that this is not because of the fix for bug #457688 but rather because of changes elsewhere in Lucid.
I'll try to test Lucid if I get around to it but I make no promises. As you noticed I tested this rather exhaustively last summer trying to get 9.10 fixed, but I can't justify putting that much time into this again without receiving any useful feedback. I run several computer labs at a university and they all run debian now because of this bug and #457688.
