Could you have a look through /var/log/apt/ then and try and pinpoint the
regression?

Have you installed something since that is reactivating pulselaudio?

When you disable pulseaudio in the session is
.config/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop created with 'Hidden=true'?

It is odd as most of the bugs about pulseaudio relate to not being able to start
it at all (see #378 and friends).
