Sorry for the delay.

- /boot is ext4.
- I have no idea how the image got corrupted. I have seen this
   only once.

I think I understood where the 3rd image is stored: In /var/tmp/\
initramfs.XXXXXXX. If /boot is not a dedicated partition, then disk
space is shared between /var/tmp and /boot, increasing the risk for
a full disk at update-initramfs runtime.
