I've run the full devtools test suite for lucid-i386 which had 78 failures before the fix. The version from the PPA passes all the tests with success.
I've run the compiler and runtime sample test suites and all the tests pass with success.

Bug description:
The lucid update for ant, 1.7.1-4ubuntu1, was issued to
address bug 600272, which caused a mis-compilation of openjdk-6,
resulting in bugs in openjdk's jaxb and javaws compenents. An SRU
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/openjdk-6/6b18-1.8-4ubuntu3)
was proposed to address, amongst other issues, this
by rebuilding openjdk against the updated version of
ant. However, this was superceded by a openjdk security update
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/6b18-1.8.1-0ubuntu1),
which was built in the lucid-security, and thus was built against
the unfixed version of ant, thereby reintroducing the bugs in the
jaxb/javaws components.

This is not an issue for the jaunty and karmic versions of openjdk, as
the ant update was pulled into the security pockets as part of the
omnibus firefox 3.6.X security upgrade.
