fortunately with the patch applied your box works now (so does mine) so the bug appears to be fixed.
early-bootup debugging was never easy, and breakage there doesnt happen all that often. Hopefully this was the last one related to remove-BKL.
(If such a early-bootup lockup happens in the future then you sure could temporarily unplug the ups serial connection and use that as the serial console - for the narrow and temporary purpose of debugging that boot-time hang.)
