I meant to type 5-Jan-2012 (not 2011) above... sigh! Anyway, I thought I should also mention, immediately preceding the kernel panic/core dump, a little flashing white line appears in Plymouth... and the end of the animated dots. Never saw that before.
After I implemented the --no-log workaround, the (previously) flashing white line was replaced with a message about CUPS, after which it continues the normal boot sequence, rather than crashing. Never saw that before, either. This odd behavior may, or may not, be indicative. Moreover, I don't have a printer installed on this machine (local or network).
