Well, you indeed have enough info to debug the bootup operation.
I think something has changed on the TS-7250 that is perventing
it from sending proper messages. At this point, if the board
was mine, I would install the TS-9450 and reburn the flash,
to see if it has been corrupted somehow. Your best solution
probably is returning the board to the factory for reburning/and or
repair.
