I confirm that the problem cannot be replicated on a different SD card. I conclude that the error was possibly due to corrupted data on a bad SD card. From what I've seen, here are some things to look for that might indicate a bad SD card:
raspi-config
does not result in the root
filesystem being expanded as seen by
raspberry pi (df -h
shows a
smaller rootfs size than the card
size). The filesystem is by default
mounted as read-only. As a
consequence X Window manager doesn't
start, and startx
fails to invoke
it.
Various errors when running
sudo-apt-get upgrade
that can't be
fixed by rerunning sudo apt-get
update
.
Finally, I would suggest steering clear of generic SD cards, the one that didn't work for me was one of that variety.
