A final update: I got an answer from Adaptec. The problem is acknowledged and they are working on a fix.

Hello Mark,
We were able to reproduce the issue having exactly the same error messages. We assume, the issue is related to dkms and we've contacted our engineering department to look for a possible solution. As soon as we know something, we'll let you know.
Kind regards,

So that wraps it up for now, and I trust it will be sorted out in due course. I just need to be patient.
