I believe the blocking of installation of fglrx has been implemented for Lucid as of this change, which post-dates this bug:

fglrx-installer (2:8.660-0ubuntu6) lucid; urgency=low

      uninstallable until AMD restores compatibility with X.

Please re-test to see if it is still proposing this driver in Lucid. I'm leaving the bug open so we can review and consider adding code to make this occur automatically in some fashion. Similarly I'm leaving the jockey task intact. But the issue is worked around for Lucid at least, so the severity of this issue can be dropped to wishlist.
