It is still an issue for me. Unfotunately apport seems to be broken on my machine.
I too get the black screen unless I remove the "set gfxpayload=$linux_gfx_mode" line. I haven't tried using "text". I have found that, while on the 'black' screen, pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL twice and then ENTER will reboot the system, as it calls up the rebooting options and defaults to Restart (even though I can't see it).
