There haven't been similar reports with the 390.xx driver from
stretch-backports or with the 390.xx driver in sid (with newer kernels
than 4.9) - maybe it is specific to your card. Or some other hardware.

There is nothing we can do about bugs in the proprietary driver. And I
expect you don't want to try reporting this upstream - since you have a
working configuration now, and getting useful information if the system
fails to boot is difficult.
