I also experienced this bug. I am running Squeeze, and on performing a
safe-upgrade I experienced exactly the same symptoms. I managed to get
a working system by following the suggested workaround (suggested by OP
that is).
I asked for help in Debian help forums and had no reply, asked on
Linuxquestions, no reply. Eventually I tried the suggestion to update
initramfs, but obviously did something wrong and ended up with a
completely unbootable system.
I had to wipe it and reinstall in the end. Sorry can't provide more
details but I don't have the time to try to reproduce it. It is a
nasty bug though clearly so I thought I should at least register my
experience.
Regards
