This looks like a driver problem.  Can you post the output of

I seem to recall that hardware acceleration on radeon/amdgpu requires
proprietary microcode, even when using the free driver.  Maybe that is
related?

Right, thank you!

comparing `dmesg | grep -w 'drm\|r600\|radeo'` from both systems made this stand out:
---
radeon 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for /*(DEBLOBBED)*/ failed with error -2
[drm:rv770_init [radeon]] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware!
---

Guess I have to research how to put that back in now, as my level of idealism doesn't cover basic functionality falling flat. I understand the issues with binary blobs, but from a right-here, right-now perspective, what you do here is to cripple a driver (one among many, I assume) and let it be a surprise for users if things go belly up.
