Mac OS X Lion hangs on boot

I've got a very grumpy Lion version... Once ever 2/3 boots it hangs
on startup...

Lion is almost booted and shows a white screen with the Apple inside.
But 15-20 minutes later the image is the same. (I never waited longer, so maybe it's still booting).

The next boot it just works again...

After inspecting the log files I see this logged on the end (the last log item of the previous boot)

Sep  5 19:12:05 MacCreature mds[48]: (Error) ImportServer: <MDSImporterWrangler: 0x7fc21bc4ddc0> still waiting for plug-in info from mdworker
Sep  5 19:12:06 MacCreature mds[48]: (Error) ImportServer: <MDSImporterWrangler: 0x7fc21bc92710> still waiting for plug-in info from mdworker

MDS seems to be the spotlight indexer...

Plugins

The message tells me its waiting for a plugin. (not which plugin).

I've tried to move all plugins I do not use. Well I only use spotlight to quickly start apps and find filenames or search textfiles. So I disabled ALL plugins:

mkdir /Library/Spotlight/Disabled
mv /Library/Spotlight/*.mdimporter /Library/Spotlight/Disabled

That went well..
Rebooting (a few times): still the same issue
Bad luck

Disabling Indexing Service

View the status of the indexing service, for all (-a) drives.

sudo mdutil -s -a

Disable indexing for all drives

sudo mdutil -a -i off

Erase all indices.

sudo mdutil -a -E

Remove the true file. Doing this 'forgets' all your spotlight setttings
WARNING: Remember all your spotlight exclusions!!

cd /Volumes/your_hard_drive_name_1
sudo rm -fr .Spotlight-V100

Turn back on indexing (And put the exclusion back on)

sudo mdutil -i on /

Disable Mobile Backups

Not required for my problem, but I don't like these mobile backups. I've got a rsync script to a local server and use an external harddisk every week.

sudo tmutil disablelocal

It seem to have worked....
Now cross my fingers. I hate Windows-like issues on my Mac!! :S

The complete failing bootlog was:
