This no longer seems to be the case. A while ago, I happened to boot into the above kernel, and all was well! IOW, there was no problem when running the same box with the above kernel. I'm afraid I cannot explain the contradiction, and I have not had the time to carefully re-examine the recent test. But, as, to my knowledge, no-one else has corroborated the alleged misbehaviour, then it is best to question my original post. IOW, all is well. Move along. Nothing to see here.
