This issue was diagnosed on the openafs thread I posted earlier. Looks like it's a kernel memory issue that crops up on some systems (my old desktop, for one) when the openafs client cache options in /etc/openafs/afs.conf are set as follows:
OPTIONS="-chunksize 20 -memcache -blocks 65536"

Reverting the cache settings back to the default resolves the problem:
OPTIONS=AUTOMATIC

Unfortunately, I won't be able to verify this bug against the new Jaunty package anytime soon as I've since replaced my old NVIDIA desktop with an ATI one. I would go ahead and close this bug but it would probably be helpful to others googling for help with similar symptoms if it was archived (I'm not sure what the Launchpad archival policy is for closed bugs).
