OK, I ran it with high system load (which as discussed earlier made
the bug pop up more readily) for a little over 12 hours, and no
freeze.

In case logs are interesting, they are temporarily (~48h) here:

dmesg log with handle_tx_event, but with "spurious event" messages
filtered out otherwise the file is 400 times the size:
https://tmpfiles.org/wvw5Fxo00DQt/dmesg-6.18.42-patch-2026-08-04-no-spurious.txt

Filtered debugfs trace as directed by Michal earlier in the process:
https://tmpfiles.org/w2wTFcoQ02zV/trace-6.18.42-patch-2026-08-04.txt

Thanks for all your work.
