Could be, this was copy+paste via paper...

I'll re-update to see if I pick up any significant changes, but
chances are that I won't...

I've not messed with the BIOS settings either before inserting
the Radeon card or after pulling it.  Isn't this all automatic?

Really?  Hm, wasn't that what I started with, which also caused a
kernel panic?  Anyway, I'll put it on the list of things I should
test or re-test.

It's possible I'll also re-install the system using netbsd-6
code, to see if twa(4) has any better chance of working on that
version.
