I can confirm that this bug is still present in Maverick.

To clarify the end user impact: When installing from PXE, this means that network is not working at the very first boot of the newly installed system, even though it worked during installation. This looks like quite a serious issue to me. According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance, I think this means that this bug's importance should be classified as "High":
"High: A bug which fulfills one of the following criteria:

    * Has a severe impact on a small portion of Ubuntu users (estimated)
    * Makes a default Ubuntu installation generally unusable for some users
          o For example, if the system fails to boot, or X fails to start, on a certain make and model of computer
    * A problem with an essential hardware component (disk controller, laptop built-in wireless, video card, keyboard, mouse) "
