Yes, I was unable to switch to a text console using either C-A-F1 or the chvt command (after logging in via ssh) -- chvt sat there unresponsively and I cancelled it after a few minutes. Also when I rebooted the corrupted display remained until the end of shutdown. Also, at no point did the installer warn me that I was missing this firmware (which I think it *should* do, even if the firmware isn't shipped because of being non-free).
