I upgraded to lucid-lynx, which is still in development, hoping that somebody bumps up this issue such that it works when 10.4 is finally released.

Well, I don't know of any utility to do that, but it possible to access dbus directly, which is what the programmers generally do. I don't know how though, so I can't help there. Notify-send hasn't been updated in a while, but you can still try submitting feature requests to the ubuntu launchpad site in the hopes that they will patch it or directly to the authors site to try to get the enqueue option added.
As for the timeout not being supported in ubuntu, this is on purpose: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...sd/+bug/390508
Also, there is a patched notification system on that page, that can do timeouts, so you can at least use that to solve on problem.
