This bug was fixed in the package procps - 1:3.3.3-2ubuntu3

---------------
procps (1:3.3.3-2ubuntu3) quantal; urgency=low

  * debian/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf: adjust to 176 by default, retaining
    support for the critical sync, remount, reboot functions.  SysRq+E and
    SysRq+I are still disabled, which unfortunately means SysRq by default
    cannot be used to kill a broken X server; but the only way to enable
    these would be to re-enable SysRq+F, which is one of the options that's
    problematic security-wise.  LP: #1025467
