After some more investigation, it turns out this is a problem only with oem installs. After an oem install, you are left with /etc/gdm/custom.conf with the following contents:

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=oem
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=oem
TimedLoginDelay=10

If I remove this file, gdm 2.30.2--0ubuntu1 works fine, and has a number of improvements over the previous version.

I'm not certain what is responsible for creating, or supposedly removing this file, but it looks like it shouldn't be there, and if it is, gdm 2.30.2--0ubuntu1 breaks if you disable the user list.
