We've just tested this. We see exactly the same issue on 3.6.1 using
the current build of the Ubuntu Quantal kernel, which is:

Linux version 3.6.1-030601-generic (apw@gomeisa) (gcc version 4.6.3 
(Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) ) #201210071322 SMP Sun Oct 7 17:23:28 UTC 
2012

More details (including full logs for that kernel) at:
