There are three possibilities, at least LOCKDEBUG perturbs timing and provokes a latent bug LOCKDEBUG catches bad code and faults LOCKDEBUG is itself buggy In all three -- and you don't know yet -- a bug report is in order. It would be good to set up kernel gdb, probably, or at least a serial console, or disable all graphics and see if you can get a backtrace.
