(Get the code!)
I have setup a client system running Ubuntu 12.04 using an iscsi root filesystem. There is no problem with the root filesystem; everything boots up just fine. However, I experience the exact same problems as those reported in the initial bug description. I.e., iscsid is not running, so connecting to other iscsi targets doesn't work. Starting iscsid causes the mounted root filesystem to misbehave. The above description suggests that it remounts read-only. I have seen that some of the time, and I have also seen a complete hang.
I tried adding the "initramfs patch to roll in iscsid" from comment #5; this appears to have made no difference.
I'm going to try installing open-iscsi from git as proposed in comment #6. I'll report back on my luck.
Strange that I'm having these problems, though. Everything is currently working just fine with some Oneiric (Ubuntu 11.10) clients. I'm tempted to let the installer upgrade a copy of the Oneiric image to see if the problem recurs.
