If your sheet does not have images or form elements, then the current
CVS of POI is quite stable. Even otherwise, it might work for the
documents you use. So if it passes your tests, its stable. 

however, my suggestion is, to backport the fix you want into the source
of the release you use. If you've managed to debug into property.java, I
dont expect this to be very difficult for you. The POI build files
should help you get a jar very easily.
