.../... Ok so none of the error counters seem to trip, odd. No idea what's up, you may want to ask the folks at APM (CCed Tirumala). I wonder also if we are properly enabling the reporting of error interrupts... if we got that wrong we may never detect FIFO overruns. What you describe really looks like a fifo overrun to me. Additionally, look at emac_configure(), sees how it configures the pause packet thresholds, maybe you can tweak the watermark to be more aggressive. Also check that pause is actually enabled (with ethtool) and that the PHY negociated it properly (that the link partner supports pause frames).
