This only fails in normal "live" mode. Using only-ubiquity mode, the restart button works properly.
It doesn't appear to be caused by permissions either as if you have a terminal open while pressing the reboot button in ubiquity, this message is echo'ed to the terminal:
"
Broadcast message from root@ubuntu
(unknown) at 4:03 ...
The system is going down for reboot NOW!
"
This would lead me to believe ubiquity is doing everything correctly, but upstart(?) is not handling the reboot properly.
