Please see below for my preferred fix.  Does this work for you guys?

Your preferred fix looks good to me.

With the original code I can quite easily reproduce the problem on my
system every 10 reboots or so. With your fix in place the problem no
longer occurs.

Very good, thank you!  May I add your Tested-by?


FWIW, I am still working on it. So far I get

and it looks like the console no longer works. Most likely this is some other problem
that was introduced while tests were broken. It will take me some time to track that down.
