I have been experiencing this exact problem since upgrading to 12.04. A number of times I have attempted to add a few international locations that I routinely like to reference but abandoned the task after realising that it "doesn't work". Tonight if finally annoyed me enough to google the problem. I initially subscribed to this bug upon reading it, however after viewing Charles Kerr's attached screenshot, I tried again. The problem is that the dropdown list isn't populated automatically; it's blank, giving the impression that there are no values behind it, however if you start tyying the list starts populating after some delay.

I believe that the functionality is there, however the "bug" is in that it isn't intuitive that the data is available, leading one to draw an incorrect conclusion that the functionality is not available
