This is 100% reproducible on current git kernel.
After hitting the BUG the machine is still alive, but some processes
refuse to start and /bin/sync stalls forever.
Last known good kernel is 2.6.32-rc2-00087-g9c1fe83.

Looking at the logs I see also this warning before the BUG (probably
unrelated).

This is already fixed, see:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-ext4&m=125437926005433&w=4
Unfortunately Linus has not pulled the fix yet.
