I can confirm that this bug is still present in Karmic. I can use my Motorola A1200 as a modem with 'Gnome PPP' without any problems.
After connecting my Motorola A1200 I get this in syslog: Apr 14 22:39:16 rosa kernel: [ 148.696068] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 Apr 14 22:39:16 rosa kernel: [ 148.871248] usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Apr 14 22:39:16 rosa kernel: [ 148.944272] cdc_acm 3-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device Apr 14 22:39:16 rosa kernel: [ 148.947154] usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_acm Apr 14 22:39:16 rosa kernel: [ 148.947970] cdc_acm: v0.26:USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters Apr 14 22:39:16 rosa modem-manager: (ttyACM0) opening serial device...

Seems like It has something to do with modem-manager, so I attach the a debug-log & add modemmanager to the affected packages.
