After some additional testing I've managed to generate one of
the failure modes with a long timer period (no timer interrupt
pending when the scheduler starts).  So it appears not to be
the timer interrupt causing the problem.  There are two other
interrupts pending when the scheduler starts, so it may be one
of those...
