Some news: a recent update mostly hosed my 12.04 system. (For the record, I had installed anew on an empty partition, not upgraded.) I just did a full update and am happy to report that hcitool dev reports the same thing that it did in xubuntu.
This means as far as I'm concerned, this bug is resolved. Not sure if the linux-firmware package was just affected by bug #714862, or wasn't installed or what. My installed version of linux-firmware is 1.79. Note that my 12.04 system is hosed enough that I can't actually test that the adapter works correctly, but I'm guessing that since hcitool dev is reporting it (and lsusb no longer says "no firmware") that it's all gravy. I'll leave this ticket open because I don't know if anything else needs to happen on your end.
