Trey's right, it never was fixed.

Although I have fortunately not suffered from any permanent hardware
problems, the bug resurfaces every now and then.  I have worked around it by
editing /lib/udev/rules.d/80-udisks.rules and commenting out this line:

# ATA disks driven by libata
#KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]", ATTR{removable}=="0", ENV{ID_BUS}=="ata",
ENV{DEVTYPE}=="disk", IMPORT{program}="udisks-probe-ata-smart $tempnode"

This workaround has done the trick but unfortunately, this is overwritten
every now and then (as it warns it will be at the beginning of the file).
At least it is easy to spot when this has happened as my boot times go from
about 15 secs to a couple of minutes.
