Attached are the requested register dumps:
intel_reg_dump__nomodeset.gz \___no kms -- no corruption
intel_reg_dump__bad.gz \___with kms -- corrupted screen contents with staircase shaped and horizontally stretched scan lines. Unreadable.
intel_reg_dump__lid.gz \___after closing and reopening lid. The text is now readable, but horizontally stretched. It looks like there's a dark pixel between any pair of legitimate font pixels.
intel_reg_dump__x11.gz \___after starting x11. Now both the x11 screen and virtual terminals look right.
(BTW: there's also still the problem that the backlight remains off until I press the "screen darker" key. Maybe this problem is related? https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31522).
