Thank for the links to the bug reports, it would appear to be the same 
issue. I tested my wife's X1 Carbon Gen 3 and it worked fine. Perhaps a 
bios bug with the processor in my 4th gen.

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6600U CPU @ 2.60GHz (2808.11-MHz K8-class CPU)

In the 24 hours I tested 13.0, I also had some X windows failures while 
waking up from suspend which never happens with 12.2. Oh well, no worries.
