Yes, that's it. It's this rule, which appears as the second rule in the
slackware rules file that's distributed with udev (and it's been there since
udev-97 in August 2006):

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="scsi", WAIT_FOR_SYSFS="ioerr_cnt"

Commenting that rule out eliminates the pause in the boot and in the appearance
of icons on my desktop.
