Dug into it a little further and compared the source code for the two packages. There are no Ubuntu-specific changes to the source code (they match identically). I have also successfully installed and tested the binary from debian's testing repo into Ubuntu with success, using the following commands:
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/rdesktop/rdesktop_1.6.0-2_i386.deb
dpkg -i rdesktop_1.6.0-2_i386.deb
aptitude hold rdesktop
It looks like something in the binary complication of the package that is different and causing this error.
