On Ubuntu this is going to be tricky, and almost impossible as there is no easy way to install your own custom version of wine (well there is, read up on it if you are interested). The best thing to do would be find out who packages wine for Ubuntu and point them to this bug, and specifically the patch here.
They will know what to do, and will rebuild the wine package and push it out through the normal channels (hopefully).
If you're feeling adventurous, download wine from git, and the patch above. Put the patch in the root of the wine/ git checkout and do a
patch -p1 < fix-msoffice.patch
when you are in the root directory of the wine/ git checkout at a terminal.
Best of luck (also, don't feel bad if you can't do this ... this is outside the scope of regular operating system users and should be taken care of by developers)
