I would say "yes". While working out that /dev/console was part of the problem I did many boots with "verbose" turned on and could see that order of the start-up processes in boots varied all over the place, even when the list of start-up processes was identical. This was a 4-core machine, so I wasn't all that surprised. So having something major like a video card not going through configuration because there is no monitor to query sounds like it would affect the work load which in turn could affect the start-up sequence.
And my evidence is that a start-up process that attempts to write /dev/console before it is writable blows away most of the following boot services.
