Yes, this issue has come up previously. The problem is that we need a Perl module "Authen-NTLM" to perform this authentication, but it is not available (in a ready-to-go deb/rpm form) for most Linux distributions. I'm still looking for alternative ways in the meanwhile.
Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better! \
