Thanks for following up. Yes, this is still a bug on Maverick with 2.6.35-24-generic and picard 0.12.1-0ubuntu1.
I haven't seen the login dialog mentioned by Philipp above, although it could be that MusicBrainz no longer demands login details(?) Either that or I have a cookie hidden somewhere on my machine, because incorrect login details aren't triggering the issue for me any more. However, if the server address is incorrect, the lookup fails without explanation. The behaviour of the program in the case of a network communication failure seems indistinguishable from its behaviour when a song "fingerprint" can't be matched in the database. Needless to say that's a recipe for confusion and frustration. I admit there are messages flashing past on the status bar. One approach would be to have those echoed to the log window, which is accessible through the help menu. Some kind of attention grabbing alert that the server is not responding would be even better.
