The only difference I can see between the two is that when on successful boot, the interface is up and running prior to NetworkManager reporting the Ethernet device found, while on a failed boot, NetworkManager reports the Ethernet device found prior to the interface being up (see lines 11, 12, 13 in both logs). What may happen after that is that NM gets confused and tries to bring the interface down and then up repeatedly but doesn't wait long enough for the interface to come up. It may be worth having a look at the NM settings to see if there is anything that can help, although I didn't find anything through a cursory search.
