This does not appear to have been fixed. I just got an apport dialog about an assertion failure in signon-ui, pointing towards this bug report. I have signon-ui 0.11.0ubuntu1, installed since Nov 02 according to my dpkg.log, and given that my last reboot was on Dec 19, I'm sure this was the version that was running when I got the crash.

I usually get these crash dialogs after I unlock my screen. I use gdm and gnome-shell.
