After running this, neither .nvidia_legacy_installed or
.nvidia_new_installed existed in /lib/linux-restricted-modules
dmesg | tail output had not changed from that posted at the top of this
comment.
A couple of things may be funny about my installation.
1) I came from gentoo where I had had grub on a non-mounted /boot partition.
That got frustrating on ubuntu - I kept forgetting to mount /boot before
dist-upgrade, so I have reverted to leaving /boot mounted. But I still use grub.
2) When this problem started I tried using the envy script to install nvidia,
but it too failed, and failed to clean up properly after itself. I thought I
had properly cleared up everything after envy (deleting
.nvidia_legacy_installed etc. till you showed me they appeared to still be
there by running lrm-video nvidia.
Am I weird running the 386 kernel?
