This bug is still present in Ubuntu 14.04 "pulseaudio-module-x11" version "1:4.0-0ubuntu11.1"

Worked around by running the following steps as outline here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/96511/getting-the-pc-speaker-to-beep

1. Load the module pcspkr in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf (comment it out)
2. Remove the package pulseaudio-module-x11 (that seems to absorb all XBell events)
3. Place options snd-hda-intel beep_mode=2 into /etc/modprobe.d/enable-beep.conf
4. reboot
