I'm going to jump in on this bug. I have an external hard-drive whose partitions show up on the desktop when I first log into my computer, but they disappear (seemingly) randomly. When they do disappear, they don't show up in mount, either.
All of the partitions that disappear are also shared through samba.
This time around, the first indication that something was wrong was that I couldn't see the shares in nautilus / browsing network:///. Then I realized that they were just gone, all around.
Since the information isn't written to fstab, I wasn't sure which mount points I needed to use to remount them. I got the shares back using sudo gnome-mount /dev/ (device listed in output, above)... but ended up with two icons for one of my volumes... still.. it was better than logging out.
Please let me know if you need additional information about this bug.

This is the output from the command above:

There is one other factor:
All of the partitions that disappear are also shared through samba.
