A correction: The freeze does happen on nVidia Quadro NVS 290 (NV86),
but not on nVidia Quadro FX1500 (NV71GL). So it is a bug affecting only
newer nVidia hardware. I do not know if it happens on Ubuntu 64 Bit,
too. It should be patched as soon as possible.

nVidia is not able to provide Ubuntu packages at the moment:

Please note: unfortunately, it has become difficult to keep track of the pre-/post-installation steps required for [K]Ubuntu, and the above instructions may be incomplete. If in doubt, it is recommended that you use your distributor's NVIDIA Linux graphics driver packages, exclusively.

Maybe it helps to get into touch with them, or to offer distribution updates more quickly.
nVidia offers a package repository for openSUSE, but not yet for Ubuntu.
