I finally picked up a spare USB thumb drive and set it up as a Live USB with the Aug 31 build of Quantal. Just to be sure, I went back and checked with my old Precise Live CD, and the bug appears for both versions in a live boot too. While both live-boots also respond to the "boot-from-battery" workaround, I think there's a bug in the Quantal version of nouveau or something because although the splash screen appears for a USB boot of Quantal on battery, the screen then freezes with static (but I can hear sounds in the background).

One other thing I'm going to try is setting up a Live USB of the AMD64 version to check. While I'm not expecting it too, I'll let you know if that one behaves differently.
