I can also confirm the fix works.
Tested on Ubuntu 14.04, in XFCE, LXDE and Cinnamon.

Confirmed that it did NOT work before the upgrade, enabled "proposed"
and upgraded, now both Variety and the sample Python code above work as
they should. Unfortunately I could not test in Unity, as this is a
somewhat broken testing VM and I can't login with Unity. But in this
aspect the behavior in Unity used to be consistent with XFCE and the
other DEs.

  -------

  I am using AppIndicator via Python. On Ubuntu 12.10 (stock install,
  python-appindicator: Installed: 12.10.0-0ubuntu1) when I listen for
  scroll event signals, the direction is always reported as UP, never as
  DOWN - even when scrolling down. This was working on 12.04.

  My application variety depends on this functionality, here is the
  relevant bug report for it:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/variety/+bug/1071598

  Here is sample code to demonstrate the problem (OK on 12.04, buggy on
  12.10):

  from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk, AppIndicator3

  if __name__ == "__main__":
      menu = Gtk.Menu()
      quit = Gtk.MenuItem("Quit")
      quit.connect("activate", Gtk.main_quit)
      menu.append(quit)
      menu.show_all()

      def scroll(ind, steps, direction):
          print steps, direction
          if direction != Gdk.ScrollDirection.UP:
              print "Things seem ok"

      indicator = AppIndicator3.Indicator.new('testscroll', '', AppIndicator3.IndicatorCategory.APPLICATION_STATUS)
      indicator.set_status(AppIndicator3.IndicatorStatus.ACTIVE)
      indicator.set_icon("/usr/share/pixmaps/firefox.png")
      indicator.connect("scroll-event", scroll)
      indicator.set_menu(menu)
      Gtk.main()
