I encountered the same bug with a previous 12.04 kernel version (probably 3.2.0-25) and could fix it with the workaround (adding "sleep 1 && service lightdm start" in /etc/rc.local). However after updating to 3.2.0-30 this workaraound actually CAUSED a lot of problems during startup: Like 'Low graphics issue' & 'Hang on Checking Battery State' & 'Unable to shutdown with shutdown button+fallback to login screen' I running a brand new i7-3770K with the system on an SSD without further graphic cards.
After deleting the rc.local entry everthings seems fine!
