Can you specify what has changed in this kernel and what your theory is
as to the cause of these symptoms?

I've been holding off on trying new kernels to resolve this, because
currently the Alsa upgrade script[1] doesn't seem to support kernels
newer[2] than 2.6.28-11, and installing Alsa from source seems to be
necessary in order to get working sound (as was the case with 8.10 too)
with my hardware. Fortunately the symptoms I'm experiencing are
comparatively mild, and not greatly interfering with my ability to use
the machine. (I'm experiencing about one crash a week in a manner
fitting the description of this ticket, problems surrounding high
network activity, and high CPU usage by X.)
