It turns out that both 14.04 and 14.04.1 are affected by this bug. I had to look in the installer log to see what version I'd begun with (and have been running on that box as my stable OS) = Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Alpha i386 (20140129). So I was undoubtedly able to install Trusty at that point but hadn't noticed a problem because I was already using the third-party nvidia driver after that date.
