Hmm, I wonder whether this is in any way related to what Pavel and Cyril
reported in the 'bit error' thread.

Dave, does your bootloader have any memory test built-in? Do you see the
same issues with any older kernel?

FWIW, we're currently hunting a strange bug with hanging tasks, which
only seems to affect systems with Wifi enabled. That might be totally
unrelated to both of these issues though.
