This bug seems to be still valid, but its behaviour is somewhat different at least for me. When I first noticed this, X did not start at all, and it dropped to the screen to allow to choose for low graphics mode, exit to console, etc. Now, X starts however it freezes in a way that no keyboard can be used (ie to type my password to be able to log in). I use the system with upstart to work the problem around, but of course it would be better to forget those workarounds ...
