I confirm it's fixed in 3.19.0-031900, it's still broken in 14.04.02 LTS with kernel 3.16.0-30-generic. With further testing, whatever is broken was fixed between 3.18rc2 and 3.18rc3 kernels:
Broken: 3.18.0-031800rc2 [1] Fixed: 3.18.0-031800rc3 [2] The number of commits between these two is rather high making it difficult to easily spot what may have fixed the bug; the diff from rc2 to rc3 is 621,132 bytes. The test setup is easy - using VirtualBox, create a new VM accepting all defaults. Install 14.04.02 LTS using all defaults, all very generic. In all broken cases specifying "noautogroup" on the kernel params bypasses the bug. I was able to record a MKV @100fps and extract two PNG files showing the best I can capture; it goes by so fast that even at 100fps I can't capture a few missing lines.
