Are you using openrc?  The other bug report you cite is about a boot delay
when using openrc.  If you're *not* using openrc, I don't think you can draw
any conclusions that *your* bug is not a udev bug just because that other
bug is not a udev bug.

The message in question comes from /etc/init.d/udev, which is part of the
udev package; and it just calls 'udevadm settle', which is a udev-internal
interface.  I don't think a bug here could be sysvinit's fault.
