Apparently, Lionhead mentioned something or other about a patch for Fable II a while back, but it's been so long I can't even remember them promising anything concrete in the first place.
Regardless of my horrible short-term memory, the all-inclusive patch I'm referring to is still being worked on. According to the Lionhead dev blog, the update is in the final stages of testing and will be certified ... soon?
No tentative release date is given -- probably to prevent our hopes and dreams from being crushed -- so there's no telling when the update will go live. The tone used in the blog linked above makes it sound as if the wait won't be much longer, though.
If you have been affected by a bug in Fable II, make sure to hit the jump to see whether or not your specific issue is going to be addressed in the patch.

I really wish I had found that bug. Hilarious!
Not a bug, your wife and child are killed by Lucien, it was more of a moral decision from the developers than a bug fix, personally I wished the child could grow up and become a companion, oh the road not taken...
Now if your wife ended up as a target, then you had to choose to break the contract, resulting in a fine or serious fight, that woudl be great.

SRSLY
when you go on the mission to rescue your kid from the hobbe cave, you cant take the kid out of the cave. like, no matter what. the mission just stays there taunting me.
WTF LIONDOUCHE
It's not a MAJOR issue, it's just annoying as all hell.
I am one afflicted with the Bowerstone furniture store bug. Funny part was that to fix it, I went on a mini-murder spree. That showed the store owner...sell your stuff or people will die.
