I have seen this bug in a fresh install of 10.04.1 LTS server edition in the boot console, so I don't think it would be related to any X session.

I have worked around it by making a script called avahi-daemon-restart in /etc/init.d, which consists solely of "sleep 5; restart avahi-daemon". I then used "sudo update-rc.d avahi-daemon-restart defaults" to activate it at startup. (I am not really a Linux pro, so I don't know if this is the most optimal way of doing this, but it worked for me.)

This bug is instantaneously visible if you run it inside VirtualBox (or presumably another virtualizer) under a Mac OS X host. The Mac OS X Finder will show the appearance of the Ubuntu guest as soon as avahi-daemon is restarted, and it vanishes as soon as you shut down the VM.
