Seems to work for me. I rebooted. I can mount my Windows partition. I can browse the internal Windows network. Nothing seems broken.

Some backstory: I discovered this bug when trying to solve my own "askubuntu.com" problem, see:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/128933/cannot-update-nfs-the-update-manager-shows-packages-but-wont-let-me-select-the

In the above URL, I am using the "Update Manager" GUI.

When trying to help solve this bug (eg. a reply to comment #7 by cjwatson) I did 6 steps:

1) I went into the graphical "Ubutnu Software Centre" 2) I put a checkmark next to "precise-proposed" in the Sources tab; Edit -> Software Sources. 3) In "Update Manager" i clicked "Check." At this point I was asked to upgrade something like 90+ packages. I freaked out a bit and exited the GUI. Instead, I went to the terminal and I did 4)

5) At this point I went back to Software Sources GUI and unchecked "precise-proposed" 6) In the Update Manager GUI I clicked "Check" again and this time I was asked to upgrade "nfs-kernel-server" which I did.

Hope this info is useful to someone.
