I am not currently active in the SRU team, but I'd say no to this fix.
With just over a year left in Lucid's supported phase, at this point,

Thanks Morgan.
Marking this bug Won't Fix to accurately reflect current expectations.
This could be reviewed if somebody does bring forward a debdiff and SRU
Justification.
** Changed in: mysql-dfsg-5.1 (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix

You received this bug notification becaus
Just noting upstream's policy (commented on MySQL bug as well) -
5.1 has entered 'sustaining support', and won't be eligible for a
backported patch. Decision to carry the patch would have to lie with
Ubuntu.
