without touching it for a while, it goes into what a assume is some kind

recover is an underside reset. It's done it now whilst I was copying the
pics over to the web server.
I'll try and replicate the other situations.

I've seen that too while working on the graphical installer. You can still
ssh into the system and do a 'poweroff' (for the installer: assuming you
loaded and activated the network-console component...).
I very much doubt it's a regression as there have been no changes that
should affect this. But if you have a kernel with which it does not occur,
that would be a good data point.
I suspect it is related to running X.Org and having that activate DPMS
powersaving for the LCD, which the kernel does not (yet) support
correctly. It happens after exactly 10 minutes of inactivity, so that
would make it the screen blanking kicking in.
It would be good to confirm that it does not happen with the "regular"
installer or when simply logged in to an installed system on the console.
Cheers,
