It's because we've seen it a hundred zillion times before... weird problems with overclocked systems that the owners claim "work fine under any other version, so it must be a kernel bug".
You could well be on the edge of where overclocking breaks down. There's some sequence of instructions and/or memory access in the kernel that is causing your particular CPU to croak every billionth time through. Maybe previous kernel compiles didn't emit those exact instructions and you lucked out.
Anyway, turn off overclokcing and try to reproduce.
