That _usually_ just means that /sbin/modprobe is corrupt, or compiled with a binfmt that itself needs a module to load. Are you 100% certain that you didn't just happen to put an /sbin/modprobe into your initramfs that happens to be a.out, with a.out being modular? Or something similarly silly? Actually, with that "binfmt-0000", I guess the most likely thing is a corrupt /sbin/modprobe that isn't a valid binfmt format at all (but the kernel won't know the difference between a missing binfmt thing and an invalid one). It has bytes 2/3 being zero, which is neither ELF nor a.out, methinks. BUT! If that's not it, doing a "git bisect" to figure out exactly what triggered it would be a wonderful idea..
