Are you sure this recalibrates it? I was under the impression that it force-quits the current application. Perhaps it works because pressing and holding the button dislodges dust.
I tried this on my iPhone 4 using iOS 5 GM and it worked!
I've been suffering from my home button for weeks now I thought my son spilt something on it or got sticky stuff in where the home button is but I simply did this trick and it worked! Thought I had to do it twice but it worked! This is a good day for me :) if you can't tell since I'm still typing away!

Worked perfectly for me. Finally, double tapping for multitasking works properly!
Wrong. Doing this action invokes the old 'force quit application' for pre-4.0 devices. It does nothing for your Home Button.

Definitely worked for me (iOS 5 on iPhone 4).

alanzeino is right, this is nothing more than a placebo.
By the way, how exactly do you press the home button "lightly"?

Incredible. Do you also know how to recalibrate the accelerometer?
This fix nothing.
I think most part of the guys above me saying it fix the problem are suffering from the placebo effect.
Not sure if this works for 3GS
