I have the same problem. The white flash stays, so the screen goes all white. Cheese doesn't freeze.. it just paints the screen all white. Doesn't react on alt+f4, though, because the white area takes focus. Alt+tab shows the window switcher but is unable to switch away from the white area.
There are two workarounds: 1) Switch to a different workspace and open a terminal to do killall cheese. The picture will be saved. 2) Press [space] instead of using the mouse. The flash works fine when you don't use the mouse to click Take Photo.
