No, that is a completely different bug.  That bug only happens when you
use scim in an application linked to libstdc++5, such as the official
firefox binary from mozilla.org, or acroread from adobe.com.

That problem is reported in Ubuntu as well, for example bug #39026.

As said, this option doesn't guarantee to fix symbol collision.  And
Debian/Ubuntu doesn't use it.
