Hello Daniel, or anyone else affected,

Accepted software-center into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Unfortunately, I also am unable to reproduce the original error. However, I was able to test software-center version 5.2.1 in precise-proposed and can verify that this fix causes no regressions or other problems. To test this area, open Software Center and navigate to a list view, and scroll in the view doing various installs and removes.

Many thanks!
