Can't boot after glibc update (even after a fresh netinstall)

My main system no longer booted after doing a pacman -Syu yesterday, following the instructions at https://www.archlinux.org/news/the-lib- … a-symlink/ .
I booted a livecd, rsynced my /home to a storage drive and did a netinstall today. The system still doesn't boot.
The screen goes black after "waiting for udev uevents to be processed" appears, together with expected microcode errors.
I booted the system with a livecd again and mounted /dev/sda3. /var/log is empty, except for a pacman.log from the install, containing no errors.

Adding nomodeset to the grub kernel line made it boot fine, so I've narrowed it down to a framebuffer issue.
