I can confirm that autologin failure in Xubuntu 12.04.3 (32bit or 64bit) is due to home directory encryption. If you DO NOT encrypt your home directory on installation and your /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf looks like the following, autologin WILL work. You DO NOT have to do anything else, such as the disabling of asking for a password on login in System > Users and Groups.
