Relax, the bug is only sporadic and the slowdown on boot may be overcome with inode updates and defrags which may or may not occur automatically with the BTRFS file system. While it may happen with one system, it may not with another. While it may happen at one time with a system, it may not at another. It's based on how quickly boot occurs and whether or not lightdm loads before or after its dependencies which may or may not occur depending on how optimized the filesystem is as well as other factors.
Using the computer will add, remove, and optimize files in the filesystem as time goes on. This scenario of having lightdm load properly was expected and is part of the bug in question.
To simplify, lightdm is winning the race condition instead of losing. However, much like Global Thermonuclear War, the only way to truly win every time is not to play. Thus, the bug still exists.
