Well, to be accurate, the fallback actually happens but it seems dependent on the hardware and not always happening.
My test hardware for non-3D stuff is a kvm virtual machine using the cirrus virtual graphic card and at least for this one, if I select Ubuntu I get redirected to an Ubuntu 2D session just fine. That's mostly why I didn't catch this earlier.

My guess is that something in nux's graphic capability check is failing
causing some hardware (if not most) to be considered as ok for Ubuntu
when it's really not (if only because compiz fails in 16bit mode). I'm
hoping to get a fix in nux instead of LTSP as people tend to update
their application server a lot more than they do their chroot.

Title:
  Unity doesn't start at all on a 3D capable machine instead of falling
  back to unity-2d as it should (because of lack of 16bit support in
  compiz).
