I've tested Karmic (ext2 filesystem) with the latest 2.6.28 kernel for Jaunty, with similar results as for the Karmic kernels. (Of course, the same kernel works just fine with Jaunty.)
Another issue with upstart being the cause of the problem - as #11 notes, this bug can be triggered in Karmic by running gparted at any time - even when booting up via the LiveCD instead of the SSD.
