It's just happened to me once again, but this time I was running it from a terminal. The last (and I think only relevant) message was:

E: thread-posix.c: Assertion 'pthread_setspecific(t->key, userdata) == 0' failed at pulsecore/thread-posix.c:194, function pa_tls_set(). Aborting.

I had recently seen a blog post suggesting pulseaudio might sometime be responsible for uninterruptible processes. Well, it seems to me like this message confirms it (the assertion is thrown from pulsecore).
