This is upstream issue 16778. Django 1.4 contains a fix for this issue, however the developers have stated that they do not intend to backport it to Django 1.3.x. See:

The patch from the above ticket applies cleanly; I've attached it to this ticket for convenience. After applying both the attached patch and the patch from LP: #1004180 I am able to successfully insert GIS data on Ubuntu 12.04LTS.
