Has this update been corrected for the problems it can cause with Rosetta?

I have heard from other users and seen posting online that this security breaks Rosetta? There have been some "repairs" posted online that supposedly fix some users' prblems but not all. See...

Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 breaks it.

I have just done a clean install of Snow Leopard onto a used Mac Pro recently puchased. I want to upgrade to the latest version of Snow Leopard, but I am worried about breaking Rosetta because of the security update 2012-001 problem - if it is included in whatever combo update I used to get to the latest version of SL. How should I proceed ? Just install the latest SL update, and then 2012-001 v1.1 if Rosetta is broken ? Or is the bad security update not a part of any of the SL combo updates ? Thanks.

Has this update been corrected for the problems it can cause with Rosetta?
