Christopher, I personally do not need a backport to a release prior to
Precise. However, I do not understand why this means the bug is
"Invalid". I have documented a bug in Ubuntu 10.04LTS which is supported
until 2013-04 (Client) and 2015-04 (Server). Therefore, I would have
expected "Confirmed" or maybe "Won't Fix".

At least one other Ubuntu user has reported a very similar issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/894188

Also outside launchpad I found multiple instances of this issue, e.g. these:
* http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1454500.html
* 
http://blog.janjonas.net/2010-01-03/fit-pc2-fixed-random-system-freezes-on-linux

I have seen multiple advices for changing a BIOS setting called
"Processur full speed" from "C-States" to "GV3 Only" to work around the
problem in the Ubuntu kernel.

Marking the ticket as "Invalid" make me think that I wasted many, many
hours of reverse kernel bisecting.

I would suggest marking the ticket "Confirmed" or (in the event you
don't think it is worth back porting the fix) marking it "Won't Fix". In
the latter case, others experiencing this issue can find the ticket and
see that the problem is confirmed but that it is not going to be fixed.
