Creating a custom blacklist and updating the initrd solved the problem
(I did not yet identify one specific module, so this might be more
modules than necessary):

blacklist vga16fb
blacklist rivafb
blacklist nvidiafb

So it seems /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf does not
blacklist enough modules. My guess is that the framebuffer blocks the
nvidia module from loading properly on the first try.
