I've checked again, yes I believe it's in the master branch of mesa:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=d027e8feff7d38cccadc6aaccc0454b21ce4dca0
(The comment of the first bug said the patch is in review, while the comment on the second bug specifically mentions it has been commited).

The ChangeLog file (copy of 'git log') of "mesa 7.5.0~git20090619+mesa-7-5-branch.abfd56c2-0ubuntu0sarvatt" (via apt-get source mesa) also mentions this patch.
I've checked the actual source to be sure and the patch is in there too.

The problem specifically on my system was that with 500MB out 2GB of RAM filled, the swap space started growing until it was filled completely(2.5GB), apart from that I run the same versions and such as the original bug reporter. With the patch this issue doesn't appear anymore. (I forget to mention the details of the memory problem I see before and I do here to ensure I'm not talking about a different issue).

Hope this is helpful.
