I have seen it with wifi on, though it also happens even with the 
kill-switch set to disable wifi. I'd like to take a look at that bug 
report though - where can I find it?

Also, how would this account for the "sulking" behaviour, i.e. the 
machine refusing to boot again for about an hour after the crash?
While the machine is misbehaving:
    - grub works
    - memtest works
    - Linux works, but only with acpi=off
    - Linux (normal)  won't boot.
    - XP won't boot.
I wait about an hour, and it's happy again.
