It would seem that the update does not fix the problem, but widens its scope instead. Before the update, having an Internet connection but not having an Ubuntu One account was fine. According to Bart (above), after the update, that scenario is now broken too.

Now run Banshee, and attempt to use the Online Media->Internet Archive. Banshee will stop responding to any input, and go into an infinite loop (on at least two different threads). It is possible to reproduce situations where Banshee will hang while a context menu is open. It is then not possible to switch to a different application. An inexperienced user would be forced to hard- reboot the machine, which could cause data loss.
