Well, I seem to have found a work-around for this problem, but it raises
another question. The work around was to build the ACPI extensions (AC
Adapter, Battery, Button, Fan...) as modules. The culprit, I'm sure, was
Thermal Zone.

On my laptop, I have all of them built-in, and this problem doesn't
occur. Do ACPI extensions always have to be built as a module? Is it not
*supposed* to work at boot-time? The Debian boot-scripts seem to assume
that they will be built as modules...
