Not sure if everyone is aware of this revelation, but the presence of a TDL3 aka TDSS rootkit infection was what was causing the affected systems to become unbootable after installation of the MS10-015 update. Apparently, the rootkit driver used a hardcoded address method to calculate its Windows kernel entry points. Since MS10-015 updated the OS kernel, the addresses the rootkit code referenced were no longer valid, resulting in BSODs.
In effect, the update was a TDSS detector, though not a very friendly one!

More exactly, TDL3 rootkit looks incompatible with MS10-015 update. This is the cause of the BSOD. Problem resides in the lazyness of rootkit writers when writing the driver infection routine.
