Bug Description
Binary package hint: plymouth
This bug occurs with the Framebuffer and DRM renderer backends (KMS and non-KMS framebuffers), I have not yet been able to replicate it with the text plugin ("Ubuntu 10.04" across the middle of the screen) -- if you can replicate it with that, it is unlikely to be a different bug, so please add details to this one.
You have this bug if after booting, you see a text "login:" screen rather than the X server you were expecting - AND - if pressing Alt-F7 takes you to the X server with no further problems. Your boot has worked, you've just ended up on the wrong VT. If you have further problems, or no X server whatsoever, you have a different but so please file a new one.
Given we end up on VT1, it's strongly likely that plymouth has simply changed the VT on quitting like it does for those who don't have an X server. This is quite odd, because gdm should call plymouth with the --retain-splash argument that prevents this.

@scott: I see this behavior in lucid post alpha 3 with a radeon x1400 lenovo laptop.
The only difference is when i switch from vt1 -> vt7 and login (in gdm) x/gdm will restart after a few seconds. x/gdm lives after the second login attempt.
