Sounds fine. Be sure to prepare an upload for testing-proposed-updates
if you want to add the patch to lenny and the release team are likely
to approve the patch, since your package is not in sync between lenny
& sid.

I personally wouldn't open a Debian bug about it.
If you want to, you can close the launchpad bug in your changelog like this:
* fixes segfault (LP: #12345)
Once the package is synced to Ubuntu, the launchpad bug will be closed.
