This problem seems gone with linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic 10.33.
Now it gives:
Message from syslogd@localhost at Fri Oct 20 19:28:31 2006 ... localhost kernel: [ 6482.032811] Oops: 0000 [1] SMP

But that might very well be a different problem, it isn't killing dpkg every other invocation at least.
