I believe the plan was to have a setting in Privacy to strip the notifications of sensitive data or disable them altogether when the phone is locked.
You can already disable the indicators when locked, meaning that the notification is only shown on screen for a few seconds, slightly reducing the privacy impact of this bug. It's something of a balance we need to hit, after all you probably wouldn't like an incoming call's origin when locked. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-messages in Ubuntu.
