You can't have a recent bug fix and stability at the same time. The
fix is expected to be in TeX Live 2013
Or, as Mojca said, maybe sooner ---just maybe--- in TL contrib:

If you aren't using linux to build versions of "mission-critical"
software without the bugs that affect you, you are missing the real
benefits of linux.
But that is like saying «If you aren't using Mac OS to build iOS
applications, you are missing the real benefits of OS X» or «If you
aren't using Windows to create applications for the World's largest
installed base, you are missing the real benefits of Windows».
Well ---I use Linux ``just'' for my publishing work ---and I'm very
happy with ``just'' that.
Daniel,
If you're using Mac or Windows you can try to install different Linux
distros ---say, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, Scientific Linux...--- under
virtual machines and see which suits you better.
I did that, decided for Ubuntu, and now I move back and forth between
Ubuntu and Linux Mint.
Also, in http://distrowatch.com/ you can find links to tens of reviews
for the different distributions; say, for Mint,
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=mint
Best,
Axel
