I have the same bahvior. Both with nVidia and ATI cards. I do not think it is related to a specific driver. I also get this crash from the gdm login as well as from the login to unlock screen after screen saver.
I have discovered it only happens with passwords longer that 8 characters. Trying passwords of 9 and 10 in length, it consistently fails exactly when I hit the 9th character. Passwords of eight characters do not cause the behavior. here are my specs. $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
