Results with mainline kernels:

* linux-image-unsigned-4.18.20-041820-generic: bug present, same behaviour as 
in linux-image-4.18.0-14-generic
* linux-image-unsigned-4.20.7-042007-generic: bug fixed!

One other interesting factoid: after the failed modeset, the system
isn't _completely_ dead. I can type in my passphrase for my encrypted
partition, and after another 10-12 s (the usual delay) the system is
ping'able and ssh'able. So stuff is up and running. But here's what does
not work:

  * software reboot from console (Ctrl-Alt-F1, then Ctrl-Alt-Del)
  * "sudo reboot" from ssh session
  * "sudo poweroff" from ssh session

The only ways I can regain control are the PC reset button or hardware
power off.
