I re-installed Karmic Alpha 4 with updates after formatting to FAT32, then to ext4 and Grub 2. I haven't had any reoccurrence of the bug. All programs previously installed were restored from my-packages.
There is still no splash on boot or shutdown - just a black screen until login. As the bug affects other users; 416979 and possibly 414034, I am not marking this bug as invalid yet.
