This is not a bug, it's a driver issue.
I have this problem with my bcm43xx chipset card, and here's how I do it:
(note, your devices may differ, and I haven't bothered to set up the wlan0
alias yet, hence the wlan0_rename device)
ifconfig wlan0_rename down; iwconfig wlan0_rename mode monitor;
Based on the last comment the problem is marked as solved.

For the record, my wireless card chipset is an Ralinktech RT61, PCMCIA
version. I've now upgraded to Feisty and with the Serialmonkey drivers
it seems to be working okay!
