This is definitely not the same bug. The firmware in question is *not included* in the nic-firmware udeb.
Bug #842560 is strictly about failures to load firmware due to a race when killing udev in the initramfs. The d-i netboot doesn't do this at all, and the firmware is not there to load in the first place.
