This bug is still present in Ubuntu 14.04. It appears when you install NVIDIA proprietary drivers, even if they are installed from the official Ubuntu repositories. Ubuntu is used by a large population, today this bug is easy to resolve, why you just don't add this line to grub by default:
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=auto
or at less add it to the NVIDIA drivers installatio nscript from the official Ubuntu repositories.
