Unfortunately, no. There was none. I thought it the missing call trace was
very odd, then found this:

That person claims that if it is a userspace process, then the kernel can't
provide a traceback. So, I don't know if that means this isn't a kernel bug
at all, or if it is a scheduling bug, or what.
