Christopher, testing with the upstream kernel 3.11.0-031100rc2-generic was successful.
I've added the tags and marked the bug's Status as confirmed.

My system now boots this way:

When the boot process starts (after the grub menu) the screen gets grey for some seconds without any cursor or anything.
Then the backlight of the monitor turns off an on. Now the splash screen of Xubuntu appears and after some seconds Xubuntu's login screen.

Thanks for your support.

Title:
  [HP 530 Notebook PC] Ubuntu 13.04 doesn't start/ show login screen/
  after intallation or upgrade

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04 the system doesn't show neither a splash screen nor a login screen when booting the 3.8.x kernel but the drum beat login sound is audible.
  Only if the upgraded system was booted with the previous kernel 3.5.x, the boot splash and login was visible and working.

  I've read that some other people who have also an Intel Corporation
  Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics
  Controller, are suffering the same problem.

  I suspect either plymouth to cause this problem, or the intel graphics
  driver in the 3.8.x kernel.

  WORKAROUND: I've added these two options to /etc/default/grub :
  GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600
  GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text

  After running the follow the system boots normally, but without the splash screen:
  sudo update-grub
