Ran into this bug today as well. I was testing some memory on an older PC. 
Here's my specs FWIW:
* EVGA 132-CK-NF78-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
* Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual 
Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT12864AA804
* Intel Q6600 processor

I tried many different combinations and encountered the error each time:
* All four sticks
* 2 sticks
* 1 stick
* Different timings and voltages
* Different clocking
* Different SLI profiles

I even went and bought new ram, different brand (CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x
1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop
Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400), that was approved compatible with my
motherboard. Same issue. Then I found this bug report.

I tried memtest+ from an older 12.04 DVD I had around and there wasn't
an error. Shook my fist in the air very rapidly.
