It is fixed on the trunk, but not on emacs-23 branch.

It no longer does in the development trunk.  However, that change is
not (and probably will not be) in the emacs-23 release branch, only in
Emacs 24 when that is released.

So actually it is impossible for people that use Ubuntu 11.04 to build
emacs-23.
