And this doesn't happen with version 6.6.2? If so, it would be great if
you could try isolating the upstream change that causes it with
git-bisect.

Does it also happen if you don't enable the DRI?

This is generally a bad idea, although it shouldn't cause trouble in
this case in theory.

That's an odd place for the log to stop... Can you not even log in
remotely or ping the machine at this point? If so, can you try
re-mounting the filesystem that contains the log file with -o sync
before starting the X server and see if you get any more output then?
