The iso's md5sum matches the one here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes

But that doesn't rule out the possibility of corruption while creating
the USB drive from the iso. However, this doesn't seem like bits being
randomly corrupted. Both the 3.2.0-23 kernel installed by the installer
and the 3.2.0-24 kernel installed later by the package manager are
identical files (they even have the same md5sum), which seems to
indicate that somehow the installer installed kernel 3.2.0-24 in the
place of 3.2.0-23. That seems unbelievable to me, of course, since I
don't see how the Live CD would even have access to a 3.2.0-24 kernel if
it was built with 3.2.0-23. I'm quite confused about it, honestly. I
suppose I could take another unused USB drive and install Ubuntu using
the same Live USB drive and see if the problem is reproducible, and I
could search the LiveUSB filesystem for any sign of a 3.2.0-24 kernel.
