If there's anything I've learned from covering this issue for the last 3 years, it's that this—and other privacy-related issues on Facebook—are quite widespread. Users have an exceptionally hard time getting anyone at Facebook to listen to their complaints, too; I know this because they usually Google around, find my old coverage here at Ars, and start begging me for help in finding a real person to answer their inquiries. I have received almost unreal levels of e-mail on just Facebook-related privacy problems over the last 37 months.
