Okay so I created a bug in Ubuntu to make radeonhd conflict with fglrx so they both can not be installed at the same time.
However I think I made a mistake. I do not think fglrx is on the system.

Based on the Xorg log
(II) LoadModule: "radeon" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so (II) Module radeon: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.6.4, module version = 6.12.99 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 5.0 (II) RADEON: Driver for ATI Radeon chipsets:
And yet even as I read the log I see:
(II) LoadModule: "ati" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//ati_drv.so (II) Module ati: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.6.4, module version = 6.12.99 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 5.0
Is that bad, is that the fglrx driver, or is it dependent on the fglrx driver?

This isn't even the radeonhd driver. And if you are trying to run the radeonhd driver next to it, there are symbols in radeon still which have the exact same name as some symbols in radeonhd (and they start with RHD), so that both drivers cannot be used at the same time.
