Reinstalling the nvidia-346 package seems to have remedied my issues. Looks like a package simply was not updated properly or some configuration file got screwed up.

The above error may be a red-herring as it appears in boots of 3.13.0-59 albeit less frequently, and definitely not as the last message. The issue affects the 3.13.0-62-generic on an asus ux32vd. 3.13.0-59-generic functions. I will test the intermediate kernels as well and report back.
