A further followup, with a more flexible HDMI monitor (one that adapts to the device's output resolution rather than not displaying an image) it displays diagnostics on boot and gets some way into the boot process before the video output goes dead, both for -12 stable and -13 snapshots. Unfortunately the info scrolls past at such a speed that there's no way to tell how far it gets before the video output goes dead. So I'm getting the same as:
but it's not just headless, it's mostly a corpse: Display dead, keyboard dead, and occasional bursts of network activity but nothing at a recognisable level, so it doesn't request a DHCP address or anything similar.
