Steve: Is your /home on a separate partition? If not, then what you saw was correct behaviour.

I am also a bit confused about what was your old folder and what is your current one. Looking at /etc/fstab will tell you what *should* have been mounted.

The workaround that I gave in comment #6 should automatically correct the situation whether or not your /home is on a separate partition, and even if you have different folders (such as /tmp and /boot) in separate partitions.

If your situation is worth looking at closer, start a new thread on Ubuntu Forums (so that we do not clutter this bug) and post the link here so that we can discuss it further. If the results are important to this bug, I'll attempt to replicate it and we can comment further here. Come to think of it, perhaps we should double-check what happens if /tmp and /boot are indeed on separate partitions.
