I just like to note, that this still happens today.
I just installed 10.04 and updated it right away on my gf's Dell Vostro 1700 using an intel a/b/g wireless. It used to be pre-installed with win vista, she downgraded a year ago to XP; and now she dualboots and initially had no gateway (and no internet basically).
The workaround of adding the default gw worked of course, and commenting the rfc3442-classless-routes in the config made it all work again. The router/modem in question is a Thomson SpeedTouch.
Digging through the dhcp replies with wireshark made me find Roy's post #21 actually.
