I have been running a Lucid 10.04 test install and updating it daily (currently at Alpha 2). Everything has been working fine since 10.04 Alpha 1 was first released.

I saw this bug for the first time after yesterday's updates on Lucid 10.04 Alpha 2 (23rd February 2010).

I have previously had this same bug on Karmic 9.10 - see bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notification-daemon/+bug/518933.

If theres any more info you need, please ask! :)

@Omer - thanks for taking a look at this bug report.

I checked and I don't have notification-daemon installed on my Karmic machine. I enclose a screen shot of a list of what I do have installed.
