Looks like this is an Ubuntu-only issue, but it'd be nice to have fixed here.
Unlike the Fedora user above adding kernaloops to the ignore_home option fixed the issue for me. As kerneloops is part of the default install for ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-netbook I agree that this should fix should be part of the Ubuntu package.
