Ugh. Found the cause. The ubuntu-desktop package depends on lightdm
but it doesn't depend on any greeter. So upgrading will pull in
lightdm, replace GDM but have no greeter installed. What is supposed to
happen then is failsafe X starts and prompts you to fix the error, but
that doesn't work either.
Solution is to make ubuntu-desktop depend on unity-greeter.
