According to http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/precise/libxcb ubuntu 12.04 and up already have libxcb 1.8.1, so they should be ok already, right?
Probably, I ran it 5 times each way - with 1.8 or lower it hung 100% of the time (without the hack), with 1.8.1 it hung 0% of the time. I'm moved up to xorg-edgers to try and work on this bug, unfortunately they're only up to 1.8. It's really easy to build libxcb, so I highly recommend giving it a try. You can install the build dependencies with the package manager, after that it's just using "-m32" in the CFLAGS when configuring and adding /usr/local/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_FLAGS so that Wine will pick up on the new library.
