That sounds to me like addressing the wrong problem. Maybe what should be done is that update-initramfs updates *all* the images, whatever happens, but a copy of the kernel and initramfs images used to boot the system as it is at the moment should be kept somewhere and a special grub/lilo/whatever item like "Last successful boot setup" should be added using these.
