Still no cigar, but one thing to note is that we got a similar splat on a Juno just yesterday, here it is fed through decode_stacktrace.sh:

The faulty line is the very first se dereference in set_next_entity(). As Peter pointed out on IRC, this happens in the 'simple' path (prev is the idle task).
