I browsed the bug and from looking at the stack trace the problem seemed obvious, so I investigated and have posted a fix. It's now in the sponsorship queue so somebody will review it in the next week or two. The bug doesn't exist in Quantal as it has already been fixed upstream. It only affects Precise. If this is to get fixed in Precise, the hardest part is to get the fix tested carefully to ensure that it doesn't cause regressions. Assuming that the fix is accepted for Precise, it'll enter precise-proposed and there will be a call for testing in the bug. If you can follow the bug and test the proposed package when it is announced, then this would be great. If nobody can test a proposed fix, then it is unlikely to go in, and your only option will be to upgrade to the next release when it comes out.

The official master bug in launchpad is marked as private - #946758 [trimmed] Automatically filed bugs via apport are all initially marked as private. Ubuntu BugSquad works on the bugs and trianges / makes them public if there is no sensitive data in the bug report and the automatically attached files. I have checked the attachments on the bug, and there doesn't seem to be anything private (apart from hostnames, user names mount points). I therefore have now marked the bug public. Thanks for that.
