Yes, the problem is still present in Intrepid. It seems to also to depend on the launch of NetworkManager as part of runlevel 2. Only if hal and NetworkManager are launched is the NFS root connection broken.
If I have "iface eth0 inet manual" set, the system boots successfully, and Network Manager reports (from /var/log/syslog): Jan 8 21:54:06 sleek NetworkManager: <info> Unmanaged Device found; state CONNECTED forced. (see http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191889) If the line is missing, the boot process stops after Network Manager is started.
