I came across this problem when doing a clean install of Lucid.

I had an existing /home partition which was not formatted. I'm not sure
if the installer overwrote my .bashrc, but I couldn't login to GDM after
the install was finished.  I overwrote my .bashrc with the default Lucid
skeleton version of .bashrc to confirm this would happen with a stock
file.

GDM would not let me log in to Gnome, KDE, or XFCE, because of this
error.  I wasted a good bit of time thinking that I had screwed
something up, or was missing something critical from the ubuntu-desktop
task.  Bug, or not, the problem should be addressed in the default
install.

A co-worker did an in-place upgrade and was not affected by this bug,
however, he still has a previous version of .bashrc in place after his
upgrade.
