After some poking about I have discovered that LightDM no longer crashes
if I change `/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/90-ubuntu-mate.conf` from:

[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=ubuntu
autologin-user-timeout=0
user-session=mate

...to:

[SeatDefaults]
user-session=mate


That said, the original configuration was working prior to August 28th 2014 and continues to work in Ubuntu Trusty 14.04. I hope this additional information is useful.

Title:
  LightDM crashed when selecting "Try Ubuntu" on Ubuntu MATE

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am the maintainer of Ubuntu MATE Remix, we are currently working
  towards being an official Ubuntu flavour.

  Since early September LightDM crashes when the option to "Try Ubuntu"
  is selected from the Welcome screen. LightDM was working fine upto the
  28th August, if I track the timeline it appears to have started
  crashing since lightdm (1.11.8-0ubuntu1).

  It is also worth noting that I include the following configurating in
  the live session `/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/90-ubuntu-mate.conf`
  which has the following content.

  [SeatDefaults]
  autologin-user=ubuntu
  autologin-user-timeout=0
  user-session=mate

  You can download the current pre-release .iso images of Ubuntu MATE
  that exhibit this issue from https://ubuntu-mate.org/1369952/
