Yep, here's the fix you're looking for:
This is fixed in 13.04.
As of Jan 28th
Add the PPA to your system
Then, launch Software Updater (previously known as Update Manager) and install the available updates.
Once everything has been updated successfully, restart your computer, unlock your Android device, connect it via USB and it should show up in your file manager.
Please refer to What are PPAs and how do I use them? if you have questions about anything related to a Personal Package Archives (PPA) and refer to the source on OMG Ubuntu (it has some comments worth reading).
