Ok.  It appears that this bug is still a problem for other people,
however; bug #876843 is duped to this one and mentions that it still
happens with lightdm 1.0.1-0ubuntu6, and the patch I've attached to this
bug seems to fix a real issue.

Is someone else who's seeing this issue willing to try a test package?
If so I can go ahead and prepare one.
