According to the bug entry, the fix will be included in Sun JDK 6b10 which hasn't been released yet and as such won't be in ubuntu 8.04.I've been following the JRE release notes, and nothing in there suggests that this issue has been fixed.How about http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6633656 and http://blogs.sun.com/darcy/entry/openjdk_6_sources_for_b09 ? Does openjdk-6 (6b09-0ubuntu2) correct this for you?
