This is a bug during upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04. So your question asking about 12.04 makes no sense. The bug only exists in the upgrade process from 7.10 to 8.04... and eventually I upgraded past that version and there were no further problems.
But it still would be nice to have this fixed, for people upgrading old systems sequentially version by version.
