This bug has caused a situation whereby I will probably have to reinstall Ubuntu in order to get the up-to date kernel running on my hardware.
See comments 38, 42, 51 and 53 for details. I filed another bug report to describe my particular situation: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1486673 This new bug report has not been dealt with, but I have marked it as fixed, as it seems to be a vanishingly rare occurrence (only one other user reported anything similar) and the root cause has been dealt with here. I include this information here however, for the record.
