No problem. These are the files I downloaded:-
total 58M
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 936K Nov 15 18:37
linux-firmware-image-4.12.0_4.12.0-4_i386.deb
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian  11M Nov 15 18:37
linux-headers-4.12.0_4.12.0-4_i386.deb
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian  46M Nov 15 18:37 linux-image-4.12.0_4.12.0-4_i386.deb

To work out which kernel was being installed I did:-
dpkg-deb -c linux-image-4.12.0_4.12.0-4_i386.deb

Looks like kernel '4.12' is being installed.

Booted system with kernel 4.12. The graphics problem did _not_ occur.
Did uname -a. Got:-
Linux hawking 4.12.0 #4 SMP Fri Nov 10 04:04:10 EST 2017 i686 i686 i686
GNU/Linux

IDEA. Given that setting the GRUB environment variable
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX to text solves the problem, could this be happening:-
* That GRUB is doing something different with its handling of graphics
* That the Kernel's graphic driver is taking advantage of some graphics
mode setting that GRUB was doing before, but now no longer does?

HTH :)
