I'm not very sure about this.. Think that the narcoleptic solutions is less plausible now.. Very good writeup by the way..
When it works with external display all the time, and with the internal at startup I feel that your solution might just lie between the GPU and the internal display.

My logic is that the GPU isn't used before the final phases of the boot (this is an assumption). Then, when the GPU tries to send it's signal to your internal it get some sort of error that causes it to crash. Maybe a short somewhere?

The reason that it does not crash when it's on the external monitor is that the fault lies after the signal for the external is separated from the signal to the internal.
Then again this logic could be applied to any number of things that is not activated until the final phases of the boot and is not activated when using an external display.
But I can not stress enough that this is very much based on assumptions... Do not shoot me if the problem is something very different... ;)

To me thins sound like the narcoleptic MacBook syndrome.

When the tea was sucked into the machine it might just shorted out the ambient light sensors.
