Hi, I can also confirm I'm affected by this and agree that the severity should be grave. It's not even trivial to debug where the problem comes from, I even wrongly filled a bug to the linux-image since it seems to be racy too, so sometimes (I guess if timidity starts too late in the boot sequence) it could work, and I was unlucky enough that when I rebooted with the previous kernel it worked.
