looking at that gdm commit it simkly looks like an oversight that "text" isnt identical to single user mode at all.
i subscribed james so he can comment but i guess he didnt even remove the option to use "text" on cmdline on purpose, it just happened to be in the single user code chunk that was replaced.

Title:
  the upstart job is missing support for 'text' command

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  with gdm it was possible to add 'text' in the bootargs, and gdm.conf
  would detect that and would not start in this case. that was a
  convenient method to boot normally without the UI (at least on ARM
  platforms)
