2.6.38-rc7, OOM behaviour?

Hi,
(please cc as not subscribed)
Ubuntu 10.10, 2.6.37-rc8, Core2Duo laptop, 6GB DDR2, Intel 160GB SSD.
I wanted to see what happens when I exhaust the memory of my system.
It's got 6GB ram and I created a 1GB swap with
http://code.google.com/p/compcache/ . To use more memory I launched
google-chrome processes, each with 25 tabs containing various sites
etc. When I reached 11 Google Chrome windows each with 25 tabs I maxed
out the memory, and things became real slow (sluggish mouse pointer,
system generally not responding) and the "HDD" activity light was
pretty constant.
I don't have any on disk swap.
I couldn't recovery the system at this point (it had stopped
responding, no HDD indicator, no mouse pointer movement), so I had to
reboot it using SysRq+b. This is what I saw in the kernel log after
reboot:
