Joseph: The results are Ubuntu build-dependent:
For 16.04.3 there was no problem with earlier builds such as 4.13 29/32 and the most recent version that worked was 4.13 32/35. All build updates with kernels beyond that show the fault and won't boot-up: they just reach a frozen log-in screen. This includes the current ISO load of 16.04 which has 4.13 36/40. With 17.10 running on the same hardware, the current kernel is (also) 4.13 36/40 but this does not have the fault - the system boots up normally. So the fault may not actually be in the kernel!
