The timing matter ("race conditions" or so) is quite relevant.

Nevertheless, each time I get a update from nvidia drivers my computer
stops to show the bug, and it starts it again only with some other next
update (not always, but often) related to some other packages.

The log today.

After I got new nvidia 185 upgrade, the problem vanished again.

I don't know if this is relevant, I hope this will help to fix the
problem for ever.
