I also confirm this bug in Lucid with all updates. The problem is inside /etc/init.d/ondemand script. (Bug #576022)

At line 19:

... /etc/init.d/ondemand -- background

should be changed to

... /etc/init.d/ondemand background.

Ondemand script waits for 60s after startup and then swithes CPU scaling to ondemand mode. It considers only [start|background|stop] as the first parameters when being run, so "--" is something which causes the script to do nothing.
This solves the problem (at least for my laptop with Pentium Dual Core, fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.04). However this problem does not occur on my desktop (Core2Duo, recent upgrade from Interpid to Lucid) although I have not removed the mistake from ondemand script... strange
