Some observations.

If I login using the desktop mouse both to select the user and to
confirm the password X does not crash. But then using the Enter key for
one of those actions immediatelly crashes X the first time and gdm is
restarted now running on VT8 instead of VT7 where VT7 here unveils the
tail of the bootup messages.

If I do use the mouse to login to avoid X to crash X will still crash
the first time I try to confirm my password using the Enter key, e.g for
Synaptic, causing gdm to be restarted on VT8 as well.

I guess it (again) might have to do with upstart and its handling of VT-
terminals, especially VT7.

I have two more Maverick installations, one running on btrfs and another
being UNE and those do not cause this problem. Might add that those two
are clean installations using Maverick CDs while the one causing the
crashes is an early upgrade from a clean Lucid LTS installation before
Maverick CDs were available.
