I did some additional testing that might help resolving this issue.
First, I tried using a burned CD image. This was Sunday's daily build (1 March). It happened here as well.
However, when booted into Safe Graphics mode, it didn't happen.
Second, I also tried it again with today's daily build, from my USB drive again. It still froze, even when booted into safe graphics mode.
What's notable, however, is that nm-applet didn't start immediately. While I was browsing through the menu I saw the tray icon hadn't appeared yet. When it froze, it *had* appeared. This leads me to think NetworkManager is someway involved, so I'm adding that as possibly affected as well.
I suppose I'll give this a try with Ubuntu as well. If there's any more debugging I can do, please tell me :)
