Affects me but I found a workaround : my keyboard is french and was set as french _alternate_. French alternate inserts insecable spaces in place of regular spaces with the space bar. Setting i back to regular french layout did the trick.

I am also affected in Ubuntu Precise, but Ctrl + Space does not work for me, music plays / pauses anyway. I also use a French keyboard.

This bug always happends on 12.04.1.
I uses also a french keyboard. As Julien reported, Ctrl+space doesn't work anymore.

According to french community documentation page (http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/rhythmbox#la_barre_d_espace_ne_fonctionne_pas_pour_la_recherche), another workardound is to switch the default french keyboard map ("français - variante") to another ("french"). It's known to work but it changes map for a lot of keys.
