This bug was fixed in the package network-manager - 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu5
---------------
network-manager (0.9.4.0-0ubuntu5) quantal; urgency=low
* debian/network-manager.upstart: add "and static-network-up" to ensure the
loopback device is really up before we start dnsmasq. (LP: #993379)
* debian/patches/git_kernel_ipv6_default_route_77de91e.patch: avoid fighting
with the kernel for what IPv6 default route should be set: let the kernel
set his own, then add a new route with a different metric so that we can
go back and remove it later. (LP: #988183)
* debian/patches/nm-ip6-rs.patch: avoid disconnections due to RDNSS expiry,
send a Router Sollicit to try and get new RDNSS data. (LP: #993571)
* debian/patches/git_remove_ifpppstatsreq_6b64e4d.patch: remove the use of
the ifpppstatsreq struct, which has been dropped in newer kernels: use
ifreq and ppp_stats separately instead.

Bug description:
To start with, let me confirm that I do NOT have any message in my
kernel log complaining about the kernel not being able to set the
default IPv6 route, so that's a different bug from the what you're
probably thinking about ;)
This one happens every few minutes or every few hours, as far as I can
tell, only on wireless networks (for a yet unknown reason) and only on
dual-stack networks.
I reproduced it on a variety of equipment (3 laptops, 2 with 2 different
intel wireless chips, one with atheros) and on 4 different brands of access
points. Only thing in common, the network configuration is almost identical.
That's a standard dual-stack setup with IPv4 provided over DHCP and IPv6
through radvd (SLAAC) with RDNSS set.
I'm attaching a debug log. Look for "ip-config-unavailable" to spot
the few occurrences of the bug in it.
This most likely is the same bug as described in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=753482
