My config is a custom config based on the RHEL/Fedora builds.

I don't think I am seeing the same thing.  My console is OK, it just
panics.  I had suspected that same patch mentioned in the post you point
to as a possible culprit but backing it out did not appear to fix my
issue.

Also, I am not passing any console= arg to the kernel and letting it
automagically determine the right thing (which is still working).

In fact I am not passing _any_ args to the kernel. perhaps that is the
difference?
