I did an experiment. I renamed the plymouth-splash.conf file in the
/etc/init folder to *.disabled and then re-started without plymouth. It
worked!

This problem is affecting plymouth and not X.

** Also affects: plymouth (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Summary changed:

- Pressing enter key kills X
+ Pressing Enter crashes both X and plymouth in graphical mode

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  After the system boots and the plymouth screen disappears and X starts
  up, if I press the enter key (occurs only with the enter key) X shuts
  down and starts again in around 2 seconds. In the session of X that
  comes up after this, the problem doesn't occur.
+ 
+ UPDATE: Problem seems to be affecting plymouth and is a lot similar to
+ bug #532047, however in this case GRAPHICAL plugin is affected. The
+ workaround on that bug works, and pressing enter crashes both X and
+ Plymouth, forcing X to start on tty8 .
