I can see why you think it is (as i originally marked) no security vulnaribility, but that opens the need for an exact definition of what security issues are.
Let me explain (you might have overseen it): I have to coldshut the system, means i have to drop the power and retart to get access back. And this, due to massive caching of any Linux Distribution is for sure a security issue. You might want to say, Ubuntu Lucid Lynx is in Alpha stage so it is not useful to treat such a bug as a sec issue. But what for are people like me then? If you (engineers of the distribution) would be able to automatically test and simulate any user experience in virtual, then there would be no need to announce these bugs. Instead of sorting anything out to lower levels you should avoid these tactics, because a problem (a full freeze of the system is a problem) has to have a top priority; Imagine, what if network connections are open, but only the ui isn't reacting, what about shared data? Can you ensure that this behaviour does not allow access to the machine from the outside? Or do you mind that any user having such an issue should stop any router (wifi access) or unplug from the network? What if that leads to a mo' massive problem because of lost packets, which might be harming much more while updating system. However, i'm not into internals, but you might take the catch and try to step away from this 'let us work less, because it seems to be a philosophical problem' I'm very annoyed of people who state themselves pro's but aren't pro enough to find solutions to conflicts, instead sort things out and let them hang there for a while. You're right it might be better, to wait until thousands and more have issued this problem. Thanks for your patience.
