Yes, I've had this too, on 2 different machines. It's a pain.

The only way around it that I found so far was to mount the
filesystems by hand, continue the boot, and then manually edit
/etc/fstab so it used device names not partition GUIDs. This seemed to
work more reliably, although not 100% of the time.
