This bug can be worked around by disabling Kernel Mode Setting (KMS):

When booting, in the GRUB menu, press e; this brings up an editor for OS boot parameters. Extend the line loading the Linux kernel (it starts with linux and usually ends with quiet) with radeon.modeset=0. Press F10 to boot with KMS disabled.

To disable KMS permanently, edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf and replace the line options radeon modeset=1 with options radeon modeset=0.

I reported the issue as Debian bug #712594.
