(Get the code!)
I just experienced the above bug again, so I decided to take a video after switching to TTY1 and logging in, you can see the blinking horizontal cursor and a squashed version of the display (when holding down return) - I didn't notice this until now.
I ran the command
sudo pkill x
multiple times in the video - to no effect (I just realized i should have ran sudo pkill xorg - not pkill x - I'll take a better video next time and i'll get the command right :P )
and i finally ran
sudo shutdown -h now
to turn off the computer
I also noticed that Plymouth didn't start during the boot (It usually starts pretty late into boot - but it's always done this for me, i get GRUB's background displayed during boot instead) and I saw a glitched, vertical style background briefly. I now think that this may be a Plymouth bug being as this time it didn't start when it normally would, and it was glitched out.
