Additionally, I have reproduced this bug using the libqt4-dev 4.4.3 package included in the Ubuntu 8.10 repositories.
A Trolltech software engineer confirmed by private e-mail that this fix will be in Qt 4.5. I would recommend that it also be applied to Ubuntu's Qt 4.4.3 package so that users of Ubuntu 8.10 can benefit from it immediately.
The attached patch fixes the bug. The patch is from Bradley Hughes at Trolltech and was originally published on the qt-interest mailing list:
