Weird. I suspect that after the reboot the initialization of the backpack fails, which prevents the module from being loaded. Not sure why there are no helpful error messages, though...

we're getting a scout sent back to us that does this reliably, so we can debug this then.

Jer: we may need to power down and power back up slower.

This just started happening to my scout, too. Also notice the 'unexpected number' message that prints as soon as I load the serial monitor. Any ideas?
