I'll add the following in case it's a clue: On rebooting after this fail-to-boot occasion it booted OK then displayed the following message: "Your disk drives are being checked for errors. This could take some time." Then booting resumed after only about 1 second and finished successfully. This is the second time since I upgraded to 10.04 that I got the Glib-WARNING. I never saw it on 8.10 or 9.04, which I was running prior to 10.04. The first time I got eh Glib-WARNING I did not get the message about "Your disk drives are being checked...".
Also, one other time I got the "disk drives being checked" message during boot but without a prior boot failure and on that occasion it also finished "checking" in about one second, which is far too short. It couldn't have really done a disk check in that time. What this may suggest is that the failure to boot (the Glib-WARNING) happens when it is time to check for disk errors, and even then not consistently.
