I configured netconsole, regenerated my initramfs to enable kernel modesetting, tested, and nothing - it all works now. Removed netsonole, tried again, it still works. So it's fixed! I notice that today I pulled in an upgrade from initramfs-tools 0.98.2 -> 0.98.4. 0.98.3 began conflicting with usplash, which I had installed. So my guess is usplash was causing the problem, and the initramfs-tools upgrade that forced usplash away was ultimately the cure.
