(Sorry, I don't read Japanese fluently, so this is based on Google's
translation.)

Upstream is Fix Committed, Debian is pending on merging from upstream.
The options for Ubuntu are to wait for Debian to pull in the upstream
change, then merge with Debian; or to add a temporary, Ubuntu-only
patch.  For a problem which causes severe problems for a group of users,
you could consider the latter option.  My (limited) understanding is
that you can work around this problem by switching to a font which
doesn't have this problem (and also there seems to be a workaround of
sorts in Emacs bug #4129), so it seems like we would just wait for
Debian to upgrade to an Emacs which has this fix.  To the best of my
judgment, this is unlikely to happen before emacs24.

Outside of "official" Ubuntu, you could certainly extract the upstream
patch and build your own version in a PPA.  If this bug is annoying to
you and many others, this would seem like a good temporary stopgap
measure.
