It doesn't for the vast majority of users.

Do you have a local nameserver installed on your system?  This is one
explanation for the behavior you're seeing - i.e., you may be hitting bug
#996088.

Another possibility is that, by installing dnsmasq and resolvconf, the
settings from your DHCP server are now being correctly provided to
/etc/resolv.conf and these settings are themselves incorrect (which you can
verify by checking /run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf).

Generally, those people are quite happy with the results in 12.04.  It's the
users who know about /etc/resolv.conf and are doing non-standard things with
it that manage to find the bugs. :)
