The ip_conntrack_core patch doesn't fix it for me.

As before, "service iptables start" hangs at "Unloading iptables modules:"
with modprobe waiting for ip_conntrack (as the last netfilter module) to
be removed.

My current work-around is the one mentioned in the bug report, but it
doesn't work for everyone. Other work-arounds are documented (on one of
the mailing-lists, too), and going back to an older iptables package or
never rmmod'ing netfilter modules are other ones.
