Thank you very much for tracking this down.

If you feel still adventurous, you could track it down to code changes in the kernel, by using git-bisect. I've not used it myself, but generally you would pull the Ubuntu kernel sources, and the use "git bisect" to find the particular commit, which caused this.

See e.g. http://kerneltrap.org/node/11753 - it's just one of the results that turned up when googling for "git-bisect" though.

You can find the Git sources of the Ubuntu kernel at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy.git;a=summary and you can then build the kernel using e.g.
AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules custom-binary-generic

It would be great, if you could even track it further down, but for now it's great that you've found a workaround.
