I rebooted a few hours after the previous comment (yesterday). Problem happened again today. Nothing known to be new in the environment. Kernel was 3.5.0-34 since June 14th and bug happened only starting June 29th, so it does not look like a kernel-level regression.

Could remarkably high solar activity ( source http://www.ibtimes.com/solar-activity-cycle-peaks-2013-more-solar-flares-expected-later-year-1302041 ) cause unusual wifi interference that could broaden the scope of this bug to hardware/environment that are usually unaffected ? ;-/

Anyway, a workaround is to turn off wifi and use wired network.
