OK, I see that nautilus uses the GIO volume monitor, which seems to be
roughly inotify on fstab and mtab, and so unaffected by the HAL lock.
Sigh.

I've uploaded a variant of the idea in your os-prober patch (defining a
repeat_umount function and calling it everywhere instead of umount), and
committed something similar to your ubiquity patch. Thanks!

When hardy's ubiquity is running from a live cd it sometimes hangs, its 
migration assistant gives an incomplete list of userid candidates, and nautilus 
pops up /home/ubuntu windows
