This bug (or at least one very similar in output) seems to still exist on Debian as of yesterday at least. The boot error is the same, and depending on the distro/install method (net vs. cd) it may or may not be possible to boot GUI, and even when possible, the fonts are all illegible (blockish blurs). I thought this had to do with using a newer NVidia card (Geforce GTX 750 Ti Maxwell chip) on a somewhat older Intel D975XBX2 MB but perhaps not.
