I don't think it is realistic to expect that ordinary users will be able to find this bug and administer a workaround from the command line on their own. At the very least a detailed description of the problem and the workaround should be prominently displayed in the upgrade instructions.
I still keep getting notifications of new people submitting duplicates of this bug when upgrading to Gutsy. Once people lose confidence in the OS, it's very tough trying to restore it.
