Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.

I am able to reproduce this issue by inserting a desktop cd, boot to the live desktop, and run
sudo apt-get update

By the time this command has completed, there is an apport crash report for the notifications crashing.

Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

I'm able to reproduce this bug on a Natty i386 system (same xfce4-notifyd version). Adding tag i386.
