This is caused by plymouth actually restarting while X is trying to start, and the two colliding - if you press some Alt+Fn keys, you find your X server on one of them ;)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package plymouth - 0.8.0~-3

---------------
plymouth (0.8.0~-3) lucid; urgency=low

  * Update to GIT HEAD:
    - Maintainer mode enabled by default.
    - plymouth-set-default-theme now supports --help.
    - script gains window get position functions.

  * debian/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom/plymouth:
    - Tell plymouth about the new root filesystem after switching to it.
  * debian/rules:
    - Drop --enable-maintainer-mode since it's now enabled by default.
  * debian/plymouth.upstart:
    - Remove the "start on" rules that would cause Plymouth to be started
      if you hadn't got an initramfs; since these were different to the
      rules for X.org itself, you could end up in the situation (often!)
      where X would start first (and plymouth stopped), then Plymouth
      restarted again. LP: #495085.
