I have a similar problem in a related but different situation. My
experience doesn't quite help you with the specific investigation of
this case but may serve as a weak confirmation that this is indeed a
kernel issue.
Similarities
* same hardware: ThinkPad X220 Tablet with an Ultrabase docking station; the
tablet doesn't make a difference wrt. docking
* same symptoms: disk not recognized
Differences:
* I'm running Gentoo Linux with kernel 3.4.11 (original version plus a few
Gentoo-specific patches, i.e. the package gentoo-sources) vs. 3.6.1.
* I think connecting a USB hard disk to the docking station worked with both
kernels, but what stopped working in my case is attaching a hard disk via the
SATA to Ultrabay adapter.
With kernel 3.4.11 I get the following log messages:

<and then nothing else happens>
