Thanks for the pointers! :-)

So, I managed to make the nvidia-bug-report.log (it is attached). It was not 
obvious since once I do startx I have no more control over the machine. In 
case anyone else needs to know how, this little script did the trick:

#!/bin/bash
startx -- -logverbose 6 &
sleep 10
nvidia-bug-report.sh
exit

After the reboot I found the log file there. I'll also try to post it on the 
nVidia forums (where exactly?) and see what happens.

So what now? Can you tell why is X hanging based on the log?

Best, :-)
