I think that's not a great fix, since we had users reporting that issue on multiple drivers (see comment #9 for example). Also, patch 107 is a really fugly workaround, as ajax's comment in the description indicates. For Karmic, we will be moving more firmly in the direction of -ati over -fglrx, so I think rather at looking at patching up fglrx time would be more effectively spent finding why users are using -fglrx instead of -ati and focus on improving -ati so they don't need to do that.
