It's been a while since I fiddled with this bug, but I do recall this:

Under Software-Sources, on the first tab "Ubuntu Software" you have
checkboxes for the 4 repositories, plus 1 for source code. These boxes
can have three states:

white: not checked
brown with white checkmark: checked
brown, but no(!) checkmark: possibly meaning: some of the underlying options 
are checked, but not all???

Upon installation the source box was brown without the checkmark. So to
me it looked unchecked, which the install default should have been. It
was only after I (accidentally) clicked three times when I noticed that
unchecked should have been white!

I believe that the default for any user in a fresh install should be to
not download sourcecode. Please, verify that this is the case.
