@Kevin,
Thanks for confirming our suspicions, that this problem arises in
systems upgraded from an original Feisty installation.

Interesting, okay. So perhaps the 'fix' to this bug is to ensure that
the upgrade process injects this 'soft bind' policy into the
configuration files. Let me thinking abou that.

Please clarify... Would you be prompted with a login? Were you able to
enter a username? And what about a password? Is that, then, the point
at which your system 'hung'? If so, I am able to reproduce this
behavior. But I'd call that a 'hang on login', which is different than
a 'hang on boot'.
