Some additional notes follwing more testing (takes a reboot between
tests)...

The problem seems to be isolated to pulseaudio running when an alsa
reload is performed. If pulseaudio has not been stopped, sudo alsa
reload will not properly initalize the card. If pulseaudio is stopepd
and restarted either automatically or manually before the alsa reload
event, it will report the card errors as seen above in the syslog, and
the MIDI interface will still be nonfunctional.

If, however, pulseaudio is stopped (and autospawn is set to "no"), an
alsa reload will succeed, and restarting pulseaudio manually will bring
back pulseaudio and the MIDI interface will be operating as it should.
Therefore I'd put it down to an issue of pulseaudio starting or
restarting before ALSA, and preventing the reload from properly
initializing the MIDI interface. Just a guess, of course... someone more
familiar with the stack will likely be able to pinpoint it better (I'm
unfamiliar with the interactions between pulseaudio and ALSA).
