I downloaded the update image from tablets-dev.nokia.com and used the Linux flasher tool.

apt-cache show can give you multiple versions which are found from repos. With my N800 apt-cache prints both versions 0.52-14 and 0.52-8 of osso-esd but only newer one is installed. Maybe some of the repos I have in use have old versions available too.
Use dpkg -l osso-gpsd to verify your installed package versions.

Another way to check is "apt-cache policy osso-gpsd"

That's it, apt-cache policy gives me the latest version.

Same here.
"apt-cache policy osso-gpsd" returns version 1.0-25

All right, three pages later we're back in square one 
Thanks for checking.
What I still do not understand is how these two facts can be both true:

- I tested the GPS _extensively_ in the beginning of January (on OS v50-2 with osso-gpsd 1.0-25) and decided it was absolute crap. Now, after patching the leap-year-bug it's dramatically better. Others have similar experiences.
- osso-gpsd maintainer says leap-year-fix could not help fix-times (and I believe him)

Really gpsd should have no effect on the fix speed, etc., as this is handled at a lower level (i.e. gpsdriver is the one which saves the last fix location and feeds it back to the gps hardware).
Note the "should" in that sentence, it is possible that gpsdriver uses data passed back from gpsd to avoid processing the data twice (or perhaps to ensure that it only rewrites the file once a fix has been found).
