The initcpio (mkinitcpio(8)) on my homegrown initramfs image was
udev-173, which didn't match the udev-174 in the "full" system.

I didn't expect this, because I don't have any custom hooks or udev
rules besides my "simple-atomatics" one, which is only one rule not
interfering with anything else. The initramfs is all archlinux, so to
speak.

Yesterday I compiled the new 3.0.8 stable kernel, and the script also
invoked mkinitcpio(8), which eventually puts the new udev-174 into the
initramfs image. Thereafter the udev in the image and on the full
system match, and my problem was gone 8-).

have you tried manually run mkinitcpio?

Yes, like I said: the builder script did that. I wonder why this has
to be done, though. The initramfs runs udevd, and etc/rc.sysinit does,
too, after switch_root. So I thought at least the latter invocation
would find and execute my rule irrespective of the version used.
