I followed your directions, then rebooted, but the problem persists.  There must be another bug in there somewhere.  I'll just remove Amarok from the list of programs to play mp3 files.  It's still there if I want it.

I wouldn't do anything with it.  I would just install the kubuntu-updates PPA and get KDE 4.12.  That should have the attached fix already compiled into the system.

If you aren't familiar with the kubuntu-updates PPA.  It is run by the same people that package KDE for kubuntu itself, so it is just as trustworthy and of the same quality as the distribution packages themselves.

add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/ppa
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

The good news is that it's fixed already, you just need to get the
version with the fix applied.

I went into system settings - file associations and added amarok to the
list of files to play mp3 files and moved it to the bottom of the list.
Next I checked mimeapps.list and found the following two lines.

 From mimeapps.list
audio/x-mp3=kde4-amarok.desktop
audio/x-mpeg=kde4-amarok.desktop

Then I went back to file associations and removed amarok from the list
of files to play mp3 files.  I clicked on an mp3 file and vlc played
it.  I went back to look at mimeapps.list and these two lines were still
there.

From mimeapps.list
audio/x-mp3=kde4-amarok.desktop
audio/x-mpeg=kde4-amarok.desktop
