I've been experiencing these same problems with my MacBook Pro 5.1
system.  Based on all of your comments, this is my work around.

1. Login from LDM in Unity.
2. Add a link to /usr/bin/unity on your Desktop.
3. Open Nvidia Settings
4. Enable second monitor in Twin View mode.
5. It will fail leaving you with only one monitor.  That's OK.
6. Enable second monitor in Twin View mode a second time.
7. You'll have a dual monitor desktop, but Unity will crash.
8. Double Click on unity icon on your desktop.
9. Nautilus will ask you how you want to load the file.  Click 'Run'.
