Hi Omer, thanks for raising this. I do not plan to investigate this particular issue myself. However I am looking into how we can get -nvidia updates out via SRU more quickly, so as to address issues like this in general.
One factor that prevents us from updating nvidia-current in 12.04 is that it is closed source so we cannot inspect/validate the changes. The nvidia-current-updates package was introduced to address this limitation and allow us to get fixes out to users. Version 304.43 is now available in nvidia-current-updates, which as I understand it should include the fix for this bug. I believe this is the best we can practically do for achieving a fix for this. Do you consider this an acceptable solution?
