I've finally got around to testing on lucid live cd. The issue is NOT present and wireless works fine after using jockey to install driver. This confirms that this a regression.

Some observations:

 1. /proc/modules shows that the dell-laptop module is indeed loaded: dell_laptop 7941 0 - Live 0xffffffffa0065000
 2. rfkill list does not list any devices however.

Here is the output of modinfo dell-laptop on lucid:
