I'm not sure you saw my reply to myself.. but I did get it working on Ubuntu 12.10. I didn't realize that I didn't have OpenJDK installed. I had thought I did because the JRE package name had the letters "JDK" (OpenJDK). Once I installed the actual OpenJDK from the repos, Android Studio installed and worked, despite the warning message about using the OpenJDK in place of Oracle's.
As a side note, I am 12.10 Ubuntu Studio (which uses XFCE instead of Unity). I highly recommend it if you don't like the direction that they're going with Unity.
