Wish I'd thought to try that last night.  I eventually shut it
down again (shutdown -p) until I could come in this morning and
take a look at the console while booting -- and now everything
is fine.  I have now tried a few reboots (shutdown -r) and halts
(shutdown -h), and I have a dmesg every time it recovers.

I will certainly keep an eye on this and see if I can reproduce
this in any fashion.  If anyone else sees this phenomena (even
transiently), I would love to know about it.

Andrew.
