I have regular snapshots of my ESXi virtual machines and so using a snapshot before updating packages, I was able to install as many packages as I could before login broke in the way everyone is describing. I got down to the following packages:
gir1.2-mutter-2/bionic-updates 3.28.4-0ubuntu18.04.1 amd64 [upgradable from: 3.28.3+git20190124-0ubuntu18.04.2]
gnome-shell/bionic-updates 3.28.4-0ubuntu18.04.1 amd64 [upgradable from: 3.28.3+git20190124-0ubuntu18.04.2]
gnome-shell-common/bionic-updates,bionic-updates 3.28.4-0ubuntu18.04.1 all [upgradable from: 3.28.3+git20190124-0ubuntu18.04.2]
