The open-source ATI driver doesn't have this problem; it's only a problem with the proprietary ATI driver, so it's a problem that the Ubuntu developers cannot solve (and the same goes for the X developers).
It might therefore be worth raising the bug directly with AMD if you are experiencing it. It only took nvidia a few days to release a fixed driver when I logged the bug on their forums.
