Disabling EmulationStation's automatic boot gives a black screen

As I have posted before on the PetRockBlog forums (http://blog.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/disable-autostarting-emulationstation/), I am running into the following problem when trying to disable EmulationStation's automatic boot (selecting "Original Boot behaviour" in the retropie-setup.sh):

When I select this option in the setup and reboot, I am greeted with the "The RetroPie Project" Splash screen, followed by a black screen.

I am able to start the second shell with Ctrl/Alt/F2 and can enable ES at boot again, allowing me to use the Pi normally, but I still have to kill ES with F4 if I want to use something different.

Testing this with a fresh install of the SD card image provided the same results.

It appears that the problem has something to do with the command "update-rc.d lightdm disable" that is set as option 2 ("Start EmulationStation at boot.") is selected - a following selection of option 1 ("Original boot behaviour") does not reverse this command.

I am pretty sure now that this behavior is caused due to the custom splash screen still being activated. Everything is fine, if you also deactivate the splash screen. I added the according hint to the RetroPie Script, see https://github.com/petrockblog/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/retropie_setup.sh#L2089.

I think that this issue can be closed?
