I can report that, unfortunately, this bug still exists on 177.70 and 2.6.27-2 (x86_64).

I also did some more testing, in an attempt to find out where in the initialization process the hang is occurring. I ran the command
% time X >out 2>err & (sleep 3 ; pkill -9 X) &
This sends the kill signal to the X server 3 seconds after starting. The results for the time are (roughly):
real: 30s
user: 0s
sys: 30s
So, the X server hangs for 30 seconds, doing some kind of work in a system call. Even though it was killed with -9, it doesn't quite immediately, hanging for 30 seconds. If I remove the "-9", then the X server takes 35 seconds, and shows the nvidia logo screen before exiting.

I have attaches Xorg.0.log
