If you think you've got the time, building stairs is an alternative to chopping trees down.

Ah, thank you. That does seem to work. It won't stop new dwarves from getting stuck in other trees, though, I fear.

The "fix" in 0009252 was a timer that causes stuck dwarves to (eventually) climb down. After loading your save, two of the stuck dwarves proceeded to climb down after a few days (including the dehydrated one). The other two remained stuck, presumably until their timers expired or their conditions worsened.

Have any of your stuck dwarves actually perished in a tree since v0.44.01?

Yes, had one die of dehydration earlier today. "Kalel", one of the dwarves in the save I uploaded. He climbed down, then climbed back up another tree and died.

This happens to me with fruit gathering zones and stepladders. The stepladder behaviour glitches out, leaving the dwarves stuck in the trees dehydrating. Making the climb-down timer shorter is necessary I feel - and just fixing step ladders in general. Even if they don't die, being dehydrated still causes a bad thought.

Getting it in the steam version too.
Seems to be down primarily to other dwarves stealing the ladders.
They do climb down eventually but they're leaving things up the trees.
