Ok.  And yet, I can't reproduce it here with the stock Wheezy stuff,  So it
depends on the other stuff that is getting installed to your initramfs.

Looking at it, at least I can tell it is not broken in an obvious way...

Please try this:

0. create a backup of the good initramfs images
1. install the new iucode-tool
2. install the new intel-microcode
  * at this point your initramfs is likely bad
3. edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/intel-microcode
   change the PREREQ="udev" at the top of the script to PREREQ=""
4. run "update-initramfs -u"
  * at this point, your initramfs is either bad, or fixed
5. make sure the initramfs images for the backup kernel is good, maybe using
the backup you made on step 0 above.

Reboot and test the new initramfs.  If it is broken, use the backup kernel
to boot, and purge intel-microcode to fix the initramfs.

So, does the PREREQ change fix the issue you had?
