Followup to my own post -
(1) in spite of errors, 3.7.1 kernel seems to have been installed and the laptop once again boots.
(2) I still don't understand the errors from mkinitcpio that happened when installing linux in the chroot - is there something I should do to 'clean' up in some way?
(3) Looks to me like something is not good with 3.7.2 kernel ..

There's nothing wrong with the kernel. You've probably been ignoring the warnings from pacman about file being newer than what's in the repos. file-5.12 was removed from [testing] because it was misidentifying kernel images, which broke mkinitcpio. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33373 This is fixed for good in mkinitcpio, as the next version won't rely on file at all.
