I think there are several issues mixed in this bug report.
I can confirm that I have the same behavior than comment #9 with beta 2 on a Dell Precision M90 (x86_64).
When I plug a monitor (dvi) to the laptop and try to boot the live cd it hangs at splash (red dots), if I boot with the monitor unplugged it works. However, even if it works, when rebooting the system I can see the getpwuid_r() error message.
So I think that the message might be unrelated to the freeze.
Should be the title of the bug be changed to something more general?
