Jessie (with its newer 3.11 kernel and newer libc6, perhaps other libs) works! A second attempt with Wheezy (was going to try again at a backported 3.11 kernel) failed. Whatever else is changed in the update, frame rate is less than 10% of what it was before (~60fps << ~750fpm), but that's not critical for me. At least now I can login - use X apps - and logout while the server keeps chugging.
