I suspect it's a client side problem then. Comparing the good and bad
dmesg output shows that Xorg is busily updating the screen in the good
case (visible as radeon_crtc_page_flip gets called by TearFree) but not
so in the bad case. Since the default Xorg startup behaviour is a black
screen, it sounds like simply no client connects to Xorg / draws
anything to the screen in the bad case. Maybe there's a race which can
result in the client(s) starting up before Xorg, failing to establish
the display connection, or something like that.

There's no direct version inter-dependency between Xorg and the kernel.
