+Did you happen to update to dracut-016 before regenerating a working
+initrd? I'm wondering if some patch magically fixed the issue (or even
+the patch I put in late on the 015 series to fix a seemingly unrelated bug).
+
+FWIW, others are seeing this still:

+(again, I'm quietly hoping the updated version will fix it, but time
+will tell).
