DVI detection is essentially retrieving the EDID by bitbanging on the DDC.
This is timing sensitive and I suspect that is being interrupted by the
system activity causing the EDID data to be returned corrupted. Is that
supported by any warnings in dmesg? Does increasing the drm.debug level to
0x6 reveal any more significant information?

Not sure how using the unaccelerated fbcon ties in just yet. It's an extra
source of latency vs X, but I would expect to impact upon DVI detection.

You can simply disable the polling with
'echo n > /sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameter/poll'
