It also happens with Radeon HD 6320 (from lspci -vvnn). In my case its a random freeze. Sometimes the boot run normal, and sometimes the screen freeze in purple. When it works, the boot run entirely in a purple screen until the lightdm appears (no ubuntu logo, except during shutdown). When fail, the same without lighdm.

I discovered that pressing Esc key during boot, the purple screen turn into ubuntu logo/text mode and from that point the boot never freeze. Thats the manual way to avoid the freeze (the rescue mode also works).

I tested it with Precise and latest Quantal, and open source drivers.
