I can confirm this bug on a Dell Mini 9 running 8.10 i386 (linux 2.6.27-11-generic). Jaunty seems to work fine. Installing the server kernel (2.6.27-11-server) seems to be a workaround for this, but booting from the server kernel takes away the possibility to use wireless on this particular machine (Broadcom BCM4312 - Bug #345647).
