Thank you for your response.
Yes, the bug does appear to be a duplicate of 626918.

My comment with regard to this is that:

If the newer Nvidia -173 (173.14.28) is not ready for 10.10 launch, it
would minimise downtime and inconvenience for those with legacy Nvidia
cards (eg FX 5x00 series) if Nouveau could be substituted for
Nvidia-173 at upgrade. This will at least leave the users with
functional GUI Xserver.
