I enabled DDB in the kernel (options DDB) in order to prevent the reboot and learned that the VirtualBox kernel module was causing the hold-up (I use VirtualBox very often, so I load the module at start-up). I'd forgotten to *rebuild the module after updating the kernel.* I feel foolish for having forgotten that---I've been using VirtualBox for years---but all is well now. Thanks for the pointers, and sorry for cluttering the list with such an inane issue. The quote in my signature seems fitting in this case.
