I am working on debugging this. For the record, I think that the alsa- restore.conf workaround is essentially a coincidence; it seems to be tickling some kind of race condition elsewhere. It's quite difficult to extract debugging output from this stage of the boot process, which is slowing me down - I'm going to build special debugging versions of a few things so that I can get output dumped to files rather than to the console.
