I followed Tommy over, and can confirm his confirmation. I have pretty much the same setup, EEE900, PL32GPEPCSSDR, but with Arch instead of Ubuntu, and the behavior is still there. Mine had a few other quirks too, such as hiding my mouse until I switch to a tty and back.
After applying the workaround, everything seems to be good.
