NMI is zero, so that did not help.

However, I think I have solved the problem. During boot, I saw a
message about ACPI failing to initialise so I removed ACPI from the
configuration and rebuilt. Now the system again survives both power
cycling the modem and incoming voice calls.

Here is the output of dmesg which shows the boot (for the current
working configuration, not the one which failed).
