This bug is targeted Compiz Core 0.9.7.10 "SRU-1"

Ubuntu 12.04 SRU1 is set to be released on 2012-08-23
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-12.04.1

I don't see this bug listed under Ubuntu 12.04 SRU1 update.  Is this bug
targeted for 12.04.1?

Sam, maybe the Ubuntu team is not giving you time to backport?  Maybe it
could it be asssigned to another developer?  You have the patch already.

This bug is already resolved in 12.10.  If this bug doesn't get resolved
in 12.04 before 12.10 comes out, it goes to show us that Long Term
Support is a joke.  This is getting ridiculous, it's almost been a year.
If we really want "xyz" bug fixed, that affects many users, you have to
upgrade every six months, even if your on a LTS release, with a bug that
has lots of "heat", a patch exists, resolved upstream.  Cross our
fingers hoping a worse bug doesn't crop up because of the upgrade, and
if it does wait another 6 months for that to be resolved, maybe.  It's
the circle of lif- Ubuntu.

If I have to upgrade to 12.10 to resolve this, I'm going to switch
distros instead, one not based on Ubuntu.  I'm not going to downgrade my
packages, or do another hack, that is just going to wiped by a update,
or prevent updates.  Then again, I'm just one user, why should anyone in
Canonical care, the cube is unsupported anyway.  Who cares if it's a
'wwwoooooowww' factor, that attracted so many users to the operating
system in the first place.  Growing pains as Ubuntu grows and becomes
less ubuntu, as Canonical reshapes itself, sheading it's original users
base that got it to this point....
