I can also verify this issue.

A few things to further note (just in case there may be other involved
components):

1) This issue also affects Ubuntu 17.10 out of the box, as well as Fedora 27.
2) The issue is not just with the login screen; this "vertical 
asynchronization" is also present during bootup, as well as during the desktop 
session if logged in. (It is even present during boot with Ubuntu 16.04, which 
I clean-installed when I encountered this issue initially with 17.10 after 
purchasing my ultrawide monitor)
3) The issue is not present if I am able to change the resolution to 1920x1080 
(of course, this negates the benefit of the ultrawide monitor)
4) If it weren't for it also being present during the bootup sequence, I would 
say that it seems to be constrained to Wayland; if Wayland is disabled, the 
issue is not present at the login screen nor during the desktop session.

I understand this makes pinning the culprit down more difficult; if it
weren't for everything working fine in X.org, I would point the finger
at the AMDGPU driver. If it weren't for the issue being present during
the bootup sequence, I would point the finger at Wayland.
