Nevertheless you could have gotten some ideas from previous incidents
involving this code:

(0x8007F0EA OR 8007F0EA) site:microsoft.com

Note that other users having this code, reported externally as 0x8007F0EA,
somehow found a solution by renaming the above file (xpsp3res.dll).
No explanation was given why that was done or what it accomplished.
The only thing about it that I would say is that it would obviously change
the above log messages if nothing else.
So far results seem to have been mixed regarding this approach.
Personally I would prefer to see better diagnostics so I could have have
a better idea of whether it would work on all the various updates that
it has been tried with. In particular, since we have never seen a log
from an incident made *after* the proposed resolution we don't even
have a good idea of what it accomplishes even when it does work.

I wonder if xpsp3res.dll is involved with your symptom too? <eg>
