This bug is real, it bites us and affects both Feisty and Gutsy, but I don't 
believe it will be fixed until 2008 or 2009 (sad but it's what I really think), 
as I had another bad experience with asfxload (not processing command-line 
parameters), broken in 6.06 LTS, 6.10, 7.04 and fixed some days ago in Gutsy, 
giving us more than one year between the day the bug was filed and the day it 
was fixed, almost paring with Microsoft's hotfix release schedules.
It seems as if some imagined code parser program used by Ubuntu to automaticly 
check code validity was breaking files or inducing maintainers to break files 
based on its advisories, and having a maintainer named "Ubuntu Core Developers" 
is a sort of a umbrella where is almost impossible to talk to somebody able to 
simply apply the fix the community already released. Some packages simply 
aren't updated, as maintainers are unaware or don't look for info on new 
releases. Ubuntu's Rosegarden packages stayded in the 1.4.x while the 1.5.x 
stable branch had been existing for ages. Not-so-recent fixes uploaded to the 
official SVN server (stable 3.5 branch) to Kopete's webcam support to UVC 
devices aren't applied to Kubuntu in Gutsy (Suse already has its package 
properly patched).
