Success!! This was where my confusion was shooting me in the foot, thanks for the explanation. Once I stopped naming the images and only passed initrd.magic on the boot line things are working and a few dozen reboots into testing seem to be reliably predictable with the last archive winning in the case of multiple files. Thanks! griznog
