This bug also affects me, and I noticed one detail:
While hanged I can continue boot if I issue a system wide sigterm (alt+sysrq+e). This probably closes usplash letting the system continue the boot process.
My system information: Laptop Dell Inspiron 1501 AMD Turion64X2 / ATI RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200M]
