I am glad that Bug #435930 has been addressed, but I agree with Julian that this is still a significant design flaw. Imagine if Microsoft Word displayed the message on launch, "Warning: changes to this document will be lost unless you save it to file before closing Word", and then gave absolutely no warning when closing the document. Ask this question: if an average computer user lost their data because Ubuntu didn't warn at logout, would they blame themselves or Ubuntu? I think the answer is clear.
