Thanks for getting back to me.

Yes, that was the exact error message, that I recall. Although, it may have been slightly different the first time
I observed the message. After the first time, the error message changed a little, from memory, to the words that I described.

At the moment, the message has gone away.

Title:
  'Could not write bytes broken pipe' occurs just before log in with
  Lubuntu 11.10

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Just did the latest round of updates on 24-11-11, including a kernel
  update, and got this message just before log in 'Could not write bytes
  broken pipe'.

  I did a clonezilla restore of Lubuntu 11.10 and then did all of the
  updates again and the same problem occured. After being away from the
  computer for half an hour I started it up again and the error message
  seems to have gone for now. System seems stable but this error message
  was worrying as it happened half a dozen times on boot.
