tags 701148 - moreinfo found 701148 linux/3.8.3-1~experimental.1 thanks. Still present in linux-image-3.8-trunk-amd64. Previously linux-image-3.8-trunk wouldn't boot for me, but after an intel-microcode and initramfs-tools update, it now boots and I'm able to test and confirm the regression is in 3.8 as well.
