I guess it is.  A point of confusion on my part is that sometime
it seems that system message buffer is preserved accross reboots,
if that makes any sense.

I've seen situations where 'dmesg' (and by extension dmesg.boot)
will contain multiple passes of device probes, etc.  I could easily
be imagining this, as I can't think of a mechanism to allow for
it, nor a reason to do it...
