I'll answer this first, as it was quicker to test.

I've tried the following debian-packaged kernels:

  $ dpkg -l 'linux-image*' | grep ^ii
  ii  linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64    3.16.7-ckt11-1 amd64        Linux 3.16 for 64-bit PCs
  ii  linux-image-4.1.0-2-amd64     4.1.6-1        amd64        Linux 4.1 for 64-bit PCs
  ii  linux-image-4.2.0-1-amd64     4.2.6-1        amd64        Linux 4.2 for 64-bit PCs
  ii  linux-image-4.3.0-trunk-amd64 4.3-1~exp1     amd64        Linux 4.3 for 64-bit PCs

Results:

- work:       3.16.7, 4.1.6
- don't work: 4.2.6,  4.3

As an additional data point, before your mail I already had installed
all kernels above except 4.3, which I just installed from experimental.

It seems to me that: (a) it's due to something fairly recent and that is
still lingering around in 4.3; (b) it is not something transient --- in
particular I was thinking at something weird that might have happened
one off with the initram creation just for 4.2, but that doesn't seem
the case.

I'll follow-up in separate mail providing the other debug information
you've asked. It might take a couple of days though, as I'm currently
traveling.

Thanks for your help!
Cheers.
