Update: This issue is still not resolved on my system, and I am still stuck on pre-3.19.0-26 kernels.
However, I managed to find an unused SSD knocking around and so I installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 14.04 to this drive, immediately dist- upgrade-ed, successfully rebooted and logged in, installed flgrx-updates and then successfully rebooted and logged in fine again. There was no sign of the freezing-up on the login screen this time. I don't know what happened; whether there was some sort of corruption as a result of the whole process, or whatever; but it looks as though I'm going to have to re-install Ubuntu and migrate all of my settings, fine- tunings, custom scripts, programs and repositories across to the new system. I'm not happy, but such is life... I'll mark this bug as closed, but I'm going to link to it in the fglrx- installer bug for future reference.
