The updated fix is now available in my PPA. Instead of reverting selected patches I reset to the commit before the watch rules were added and then cherry-picked the two non-watch-rules:
udev (138-2~tj~ppa2j) jaunty; urgency=low
* Revert "watch" option rules to prevent slow down due to
inotify storm on devices (LP: #332270).
