Not fixed here. I'm running jaunty alpha with update-notifier-kde
version 0.16
I just tested putting a package on hold using aptitude, and then fired
up update notifer kde and tested it. It ignored my hold and updated it
anyway:
Here's the 3 available updates according to aptitude:
paul :~$ aptitude full-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done

The following packages will be upgraded:

2:1.6.0-0ubuntu4]

Abort.
Here's the installed version of xserver-common:
paul :~$ lspkg xserver-common
ii xserver-common 2:1.6.0-0ubuntu3
common files used by various X servers
Here's aptitude putting xserver-common on hold:
paul :~$ aptitude hold xserver-common

Here's verifying that aptitude sees and honors the hold:
paul :~$ aptitude full-upgrade

The following packages will be upgraded:

Abort.
Now, this is where I opened update notifier kde and let it do the
updates. And it did still update xserver-common, as seen by this
version being installed:
paul :~$ lspkg xserver-common
ii xserver-common 2:1.6.0-0ubuntu4
common files used by various X servers
Why did you think this was fixed in jaunty? Are you using a different
version?
