[Bug 531027] [NEW] GLIB WARNING ** GLib - getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)

Often I'll get the following error message while booting:

(process:383): GLIB WARNING ** GLib - getpwuid_r(): failed due to
unknown user id (0) fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17 /dev/sda6: clean, x/x
files, x/x blocks

This message displays after/during Plymouth but prevents GDM from
displaying. I can hear the familiar "login ready" sound, so I know GDM
has loaded, I just cannot see it. I will then have to press a key to get
to the login screen.

I used the Alternative CD to install Alpha 3. Fully up-to-date since a
few hours ago. I do have Encrypted Home Directory set up for my main
user and this might be related. For when I get this error message, I do
not see the usual "Waiting to mount encrypted swap..." (something like
that) which appears under the Ubuntu logo.

(couldn't get apport-collect to add information, made it up myself)
