I contacted the Vim bugs person simultaneously to filing this bug, and didn't expect such a quick response. But the fix went into Vim SVN yesterday: http://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vim/vim7/src/gui_gtk.c?revision=1793&view=markup
So as long as Ubuntu uses a Vim from past that revision, no special patches are necessary. I'm not sure how Ubuntu compiles its Vim, but it's grabbed from a recent version of SVN, this bug can probably be closed.
