unity8-dash keeps trying to start but never does

unity8 8.00+14.10.20140827.2-0ubuntu1

Sometimes when I reboot my phone, unity8-dash does not start. It just shows the starting animation.

unity8-dash.log as well please. I suspect this to be a duplicate of bug #1362619.

Please if this happens again clear /var/crash and `pkill -SIGSEGV unity8-dash` and `apport-collect -p unity8` the resulting .crash file. This way we might be able to see where it deadlocked.

There doesn't seem to be anything useful in unity8-dash.log. I've pasted mine below (this is after I restarted unity8-dash, and is in an newly created x86 emulator).
