A few days after reporting, I noticed that VLC media player was terminating its process whenever I would seek ahead in a video. I found a workaround by disabling hardware video acceleration (VA API). I had been watching a lot of videos in Chrome when the system freezes in this bug were happening. I tried disabling hardware video acceleration in Chrome, and haven't had any system freezes since (4 days or so).

I believe therefore that this bug is related to the Intel hardware video acceleration system somehow.
