Thanks for tracking that down.  INIT_TEXT_SECTION is:

#define INIT_TEXT_SECTION(inittext_align)                               \
        . = ALIGN(inittext_align);                                      \
        .init.text : AT(ADDR(.init.text) - LOAD_OFFSET) {               \
                VMLINUX_SYMBOL(_sinittext) = .;                         \
                INIT_TEXT                                               \
                VMLINUX_SYMBOL(_einittext) = .;                         \
        }

So there are only 3 code changes here:
(1) wrapping _sinittext and _einittext in VMLINUX_SYMBOL
(2) Adding the AT(ADDR(.init.text) - LOAD_OFFSET)
(3) The added ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE) before the start of .init.text.

I don't yet see why any of these would be problematic; would you be 
willing to try them and figure out the precise cause?

I suspect it'd be easiest for you to try those individual changes 
interactively, but if it's not trivial for you, I'd be happy to generate a 
patch series splitting out this change into pieces for you to bisect.
