I tried Bryce's second suggestion of using old kernels.  I have two
previous versions of 2.6.38 installed, 2.6.38-3-generic and
2.6.38-4-generic.  I booted each into recovery and normal mode 4 times,
for a total of 16 boots.  Here's the number of times the boot was a
success, where I either got to the recovery boot menu or gdm,
(regardless of whether the screen brightness had to be manually
increased from 0, or if the plymouth boot screen displayed).

2.6.38-4-generic, normal: 1 success, 3 failures
2.6.38-4-generic, recovery: 4 successes
2.6.38-3-generic, normal: 4 successes
2.6.38-3-generic, recovery: 3 successes, 1 failure

At no time did I see a stack trace like the one I posted, but I've only
seen that in recovery mode.  (Would it be written somewhere persistent
between boots?  It's not in /var/log/syslog.)

I took more notes on the failures.  They're pretty vague and
qualitative, but have slightly more detail of what each boot was like.
