I've submitted a change in 243-8 which allows non-native binaries to be
executed from udev rules. This should fix the issue for most/all
affected users.

I want to keep this bug report open though, because I think the new
behaviour in udev of aborting processing udev rules as soon as we hit an
error is to brittle. We should continue processing udev rules.
Let's hope I can convince upstream about this.

Downgrading the severity though, as this should no longer affect so many
users.
