I can confirm this as well - I've got several machines at my disposal here and it only crashes on one of them. An Asus P4P800-VM with IDE disk works fine; VMWare Workstation 5.5 works fine; an Asus P5LD2-VM with SATA crashes. Booting off CD and chrooting then doing dpkg --configure fixed it up.
I'll try in the next couple of days to get backtraces like Matt Zimmerman asks.
