Scripts fork and wait in the background until they can continue.
I still do not like the idea of restarting all failed events without
knowing why they failed.

Looks simple enough to me: :-)

# copy the rules generated before / was mounted read-write
for file in /dev/.udev/tmp-rules--*; do
  dest=${file##*tmp-rules--}
  [ "$dest" = '*' ] && break
  cat $file >> /etc/udev/rules.d/$dest
  rm -f $file
done

Does a typical initramfs have e.g. sed?
