Shuffle always starts with the same song

[Aaron]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

If you set the play mode to shuffle, then every time you start playing a playlist it will begin playing the same song. To reproduce this bug, enable shuffling and start playing a playlist. Pause playback, then begin playing another playlist. Pause playback once more, return to the original playlist (making sure to deselect all in the song list) and begin playing that playlist again. You will notice that the same song as before begins playing. However, all subsequent songs have a different order.

Is this still an issue in either 12.04 or 12.10?
