Actually, you can add compiz --replace to your Startup Applications and
not have to think about this bug until it gets fixed. That's a trick I
had to use in past releases, and it still works today. I can drag and
drop in Ubuntu 11.04 Classic Desktop without a second thought -- and it
was one of the things that was holding me back, because I use that
feature quite a bit.

Go to:

System > Preferences > Startup Applications

Click on Add

In the dialog box that pops up,

In the dialog box that pops up, add the following (see the screenshot);
the most important bit is having compiz --replace under the command
section -- the can write whatever gibberish you choose for the rest:
