I submitted the bug report just when I received the device, so the oldest Ubuntu release I tested was 11.04. I never saw it work properly on any release I tried (all > 11.04). If you suspect an older release in particular would work, I can always give it a try provided it can be ran live from a USB stick.
Also note that people have reported strangely similar issues with non official PS3 controllers (i.e. not from Sony) in 2008 (Ubuntu 8.04). So I guess that if it ever worked, it was even before that.
