Its not the SD, it boots fine in a Pi3.
There is no problem with the kernel, DT,s, config.txt, cmdline.txt (or the PSU).
Everything is hunky dory until /sbin/init is loaded by the kernel.
This is possibly an ARMv6 ~ ARMv7 BCM toolchain issue.

Devuans init differs from Raspbians SystemD... PIE and the GLIBC so
Devuan must have used a different toolchain to Raspbian.

I need pointers what\where to poke next...
