I've applied the following patches (to try to fix other bugs) and I no 
longer get a BUG/OOPS
although the patches might have not been the cause of the fix, but 
inserting the disk still doesn't works.

http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/17199/
http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/17025/
http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/17039/

It now complains of: FAT: IO charset cp437 not found
Which I've found a work around by:

<insert flash disk>
syslog complains: FAT: IO charset cp437 not found
sudo modprobe -r nls_cp437
sudo modprobe -i nls_cp437
<remove then reinsert flash disk>
syslog complains: FAT: IO charset iso8859_1 not found
sudo modprobe -r nls_iso8859_1
sudo modprobe -i nls_iso8859_1
<insert flash disk>
profit!!

So, I have to insert the disk 3 times before it works. although after 
that it just works, until I reboot and I have to repeat the unload/load 
modules.
