There are many bug reports about this issue on https://bugs.archlinux.org

Tbh, before GNOME 3.8 got moved to stable repo, someone posted this bug on the mailing list, but it still got moved to stable without any warnings on the website.

Hmm, the one JoKoT3 mentions, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=161964, doesn't sound like my issue at all. As I've mentioned a few times now, my system hangs before I get to GDM. The last thing that appears on the terminal are a few messages from systemd (nothing about any errors) and then everything just freezes, no reaction to any key presses at all.

It turns out it was the GDM issue. I've now installed and turned on slim, edited my ~/.xinitrc, turned off GDM temporarily, and now everything works fine again.
