LP bug 785425 and LP bug 828731have fixed most of the issues with kdump. Changes are scheduled to be retrofitted from Precise to the older versions.
The only thing I have found while testing all this was when the system has >= 2Gb. This means that the crashkernel= clause will limit the reserved memory to 64M which seems too small. One workaround is to increase it to 128Mb which fixes the issue.
I'll see if I can revive this bug so this last thing gets adressed.
