Infopath 2007 "Updating Site Content Failed"

I get this error for just about everything I do with the forms we are publishing via Infopath 2007.  I believe it is because our forms have a fair amount of Promoted fields in them (more than 30 each).

I've seen this article and think that maybe it will alleviate the problem: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/958139

The problem is the hotifx that this references is not available for public download and when I try to go through the great new Microsoft Support site (piece of absolute ____) I am unable to get a phone number to call, submit an e-mail or anything without giving them a credit card for payment.  I do not intend to pay money to get the right to download or be sent a hotfix.

Does anyone know if there is a way I can test to verify that I indeed "need" this hotfix before I spend money out of my pocket? 

The forms I have published to form libraries in MoSS 2007 Enterprise have many promoted fields.  I can create a new content type in the site collection via Infopath if I keep the promoted fields under about 25, however once I publish it I can no longer change the content type (get the "Updating Site Content Failed" message) and have to create a new content type to make changes to any form I have.  As you can imagine this is a problem as I have to constantly change the template url on my libraries and constantly re-link all of the saved forms in the libraries.

Does anyone have any ideas how to realistically fix this outside of the hotfix?

I've tried every method I can find on the internet, but nothing seems to work.
