Confirmed on a Lucid image; however the only way I was able to remove the 127.0.0.1 address from lo was to use the following command:

ip addr del 127.0.0.1/32 dev lo

ntp then fails to start. As stated in the original bug report, adding the address back to the interface fixes the issue.

How where you able to permanently disable the ipv4 address of the lo device?
