I admit I was pushing too much to a fresh start.

Whom ever wants to work on the issue this bugreport is about, probably
doesn't need an open bugreport about it.  The persoon will need an  i386
machine to verify that the i386 image still works fine.  And also need
an  amd64 machine to verify that the i386 image can detect it is on
amd64 hardware.
