How long was it powered off for? A few seconds, or longer?

not too long about a minute roughly.
I didnt mention, maybe I thought it wasn't relevant, but I had taken the battery out and resinserted.

no, nothing, just decided to call my phone rather than calling from the N900.

intermittent boot time issue with initialising the mic device.

b: After power off, leave it for a minute, power on,
then accept an incoming call from another phone
(without doing anything else since the restart),
does the mic work?

The reason for asking is to check if there's an intermittent driver issue with initialising the mic device.
