It turns out that the problem is that the section of ubuntu-desktop (or kubuntu-desktop for that matter) is "base" in the /var/lib/dpkg/status file. When apt calculates the new recommends this causes confusion as apt will currently only consider recommends for section "metapackages" as ImportantDeps().
