I think I figured out the cause. Basically PEBCAK..
There's a program called stderred (https://github.com/sickill/stderred)
which colorizes stderr to differentiate it from stdout, via a LD_PRELOAD
hook. I have had this set for years in my ~/.bashrc:
root@jturner-home:~# echo $LD_PRELOAD
/home/jtu
Sure, I've attached update-initramfs -v output, and confirmed that the
generated initrd is unusable, both with kvm and a real computer.
** Attachment added: "Output of 'update-initramfs -v' that generates an
unusable initrd."

Can your provide the terminal output of running update-initramfs with
the -v switch? Thanks in advance.
