It needs to be fixed, especially as this one is a crasher and lots of people are affected. openchrome with xserver 1.5 will have this bug and thus need the workaround until someone has enough knowledge and time to track it and fix it. If you know C and are willing to dive into X, then yes, you can help. There are a lot of bugs in openchrome bug tracker waiting for someone to take care of them.
