The ACPI reboot method on these machines hits the keyboard controller
rather than PCI, which is unusual. What I suspect is that the write
triggers some SMM or EC code that's making assumptions about system
state, and we're not quite identical. Bouncing on the keyboard
controller from userspace with init=/bin/bash wedges in the same way.
