I'm not speaking for Canonical, I'm not even using Ubuntu. I'm only watching this bug because I am one of the upstream kernel driver developers (ieee1394; Carl's report was loosely related to 1394).
If there is a possibility that a bug is an upstream bug --- and if your distributor has no manpower to look at bugs and to get in touch with upstream themselves --- then file a report with upstream. Best would be of course if one of you could test an unmodified kernel.org kernel for your report; ideally the latest release*. (Note, reports about kernels with proprietary drivers inserted into them do not have much value for bugzilla.kernel.org because such kernels cannot really be debugged.)
*) Does Ubuntu have packages of vanilla kernels?
