I haven't. What is more, I haven't noticed any changes in the
kernel-source that could possibly have affected USB. I'm cc'ing and
redirecting this to debian-kernel, maybe someone there has an insight.

Your display manager is probably starting the Xserver without
explicitly putting it on a specific virtual console. The Xserver then
grabs the first virtual console it finds unoccupied, and this may be
one of the first six if for some reason the gettys are starting very
slowly. You can prevent this by starting the Xserver with the option
vt7; here, /etc/X11/wdm/Xservers contains the line
:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X :0 vt7 -nolisten tcp
