Well it gets more confusing! Both logs show the device nodes created.
Are you *sure* the failed_log isn't accidentally a successful run?

After sed-ing out the differences in dates and times a diff doesn't show
much difference aside from echoing of the commands in the
successful_log.

sed -i  -e 's/..:..:../  :  :  /g' -e  's/..:../  :  /g' -e 's/2010-04-24/    -  -  /g' succeeded_log 
sed -i  -e 's/..:..:../  :  :  /g' -e  's/..:../  :  /g' -e 's/2010-04-24/    -  -  /g' failed_log

On a related note there's confirmation that nvidia_drv.so creates the
nodes:

strings /usr/lib/nvidia-current/xorg/nvidia_drv.so | grep dev/nvidia
/dev/nvidiactl
/dev/nvidia%d

after upgrade to lucid, xorg frequently fails to start properly using nvidia-current
