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.

This is fixed for good in mkinitcpio, as the next version won't rely on file at all.
file-5.12: spot on - and sorry - downgraded to 5.11
linux-3.7.2: Does this explain why 3.7.2 doesn't boot and 3.7.1 does? O Or is something still amiss with 3.7.2 kernel?
Thanks ...

mkinitcpio didn't generate a valid initramfs for the kernel... you can't boot an ARCH kernel without an initramfs. Nothing is wrong with 3.7.2.
