I can confirm that this still happens in the kernel from -proposed,
although it's possible it's less frequent (not sure about that, I may be
mistaken). I've added the appropriate tag back to the bug.

Title:
  Docking thinkpad laptop causes a complete system freeze

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Since upgrading to Xenial, about 80% of the time when I dock my
  thinkpad laptop I get a complete system freeze. The symptoms of the
  freeze are:

   * The two external monitors connected to the dock seem to be in a
  half-configured state - they're powered on, and display some graphics
  from my desktop, but do not yet show the correct contents.

   * I can't get to a console with Ctrl+Alt+F1.

   * I can't kill X with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace

   * I can't get the mouse cursor to appear or move, either with the
  trackpad or the external mouse.

   * Undocking the laptop doesn't help.

  The only thing I *can* do at this point is to hold down the power
  button.

  I seem to recall similar issues in the past (perhaps in Vivid?), where
  the fix ended up being in the graphics driver.

  The laptop is a T540p. The docking station is an "ultra dock pro" -
  not a USB dock, but rather one of those ones where the laoptop clicks
  into a base.

  This bug makes the docking station rather useless, and makes me sad :(
