If this had been properly triaged and assigned - i.e. before five years after the initial submission - then questions aimed at identifying the cause of the problem might have been possible to follow up.
No. Chances are not that some process not belonging to the official Ubuntu OS is holding open a file on the device. This behaviour was apparent out of the box. To make an uniformed claim about a cause without having made any effort at requesting information about installed software is laughable.
I rarely use that hardware anymore, and it will not be upgraded beyond 10.04 so it is unlikely (p=0) that this bug will be fixed. Whether the bug in the process will be fixed is aother matter - I'm not confident.
