I'd be very tempted to close this a Fix Released given the general age of this bug and that I'm pretty sure it's been properly fixed in Oneiric or even earlier.
Of course, this still means we might want to fix it for earlier releases provided the exact cause of the issue can be figured out and that a patch is made available, simple enough to be uploaded as SRU (I don't see why such a fix wouldn't be, really).
Is this reproducible on Oneiric or Precise?
