I'm also affected on NVidia GeForce Go 6100 using a proprietary driver from repos. I haven't tried any workarounds yet because I am faithfully expecting a fix released soon. The extra 6 seconds of boot time is not a problem for me because due to another bug in Karmic my boot process used to freeze for 25 seconds with a black screen and no disk activity (THIS was scary!) just after grub. In fact, a "finished product look" IS important for Ubuntu to draw new users. This low-res splash screen is awful, as well as the boot console when you press Ctrl-F1.
