GA Showing Facebook Referrals as Direct Traffic?

Is there a GA issue categorizing Facebook referrals?

Since March 30, 2010, most referrals from links posted on Facebook pages are being reported by Google Analytics as direct traffic. Is anybody else having the same issue? Any clues as to why this is happening?

No idea, but I could see mistakes like this happening more often when it comes to companies that have more users and more traffic than GA's parent company #:^)
