Christopher, I tried the version of Ubuntu you mentioned for a few hours and didn't see the bug. I was running it from a USB drive, however, because I didn't want to put a development release of Ubuntu on my computer. So I'm not sure if that makes a difference in triggering the bug.

Screen is frozen, system is completely unresponsive. No key combos have any effect (Ctrl-Alt-Del, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, Ctrl-Alt-F1). The only thing that works is holding down the power button until it turns off. I tried Alt + SysReq + REISUB (http://askubuntu.com/a/36717/18665) when it locks up, but it has no effect either. It normally does it about once a day, but this morning it locked up 3 times in the past hour or so.
