Well. Of course I can't explain this bug. But, looking at this email I do not see amything strange in exit/schedule/etc.

That is. ip is a zombie.

Everything is correct. The task is dead, but it wasn't released by its parent, task_struct (and thus the stack) is still visible.

No, everything looks fine.
For example,
$ perl -le 'print fork || exit; <>' 17436
$ ps 17436 PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 17436 pts/22 Z+ 0:00 [perl] <defunct>
$ cat /proc/17436/stack [<ffffffff8104d3a0>] do_exit+0x6c4/0x6d2 [<ffffffff8104d429>] do_group_exit+0x7b/0xa4 [<ffffffff8104d469>] sys_exit_group+0x17/0x1b [<ffffffff8100bdb2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff
