Public bug reported: There are several other bug reports mentioning this same warning, but none of them seemed to have the same lead-up of previous events so I am filing separately for the moment.
In my case I had just plugged in a USB hard drive with two partitions on it, one ext3 and one NTFS. Both automounted and the contents were displayed in Nautilus. I then clicked into one of the directories on the ext3 partition, the drives vanished, and I got the apport alert. Prior to the warning there are a series of USB, sd and ext3 errors in the log which I will attach. The drive had worked fine earlier in the day, but it's entirely possible it's faulty.
