Ok, tested it with the upstream kernel and this message still appears -
along with other additional diagnostic code that is not displayed with
the release kernels.

I suspect that I only see these before the Plymouth screen appears
because I use the BURG bootloader on my 10.04 system to boot 12.04, when
I use the standard 12.04 Grub bootloader it masks any kernel messages
with a mono-colour screen before continuing.

It just looks like someone has forgotten to comment out this bit of
diagnostic code in the kernel package, or it is not placed correctly in
the diagnostic code segments that are not compiled in the production
kernels.
