I'm using an R61i and I sometimes see that too. On my machine, it
usually happens under relatively high I/O load, such as when using rsync
to copy data from another machine to a USB disk. At one point I
suspected Firefox though (because every time the lockup happens, I have
an instance of that running and it's either doing a page load or
something else cache-intensive), so maybe the problem is somewhere in
the I/O system (such as a write blocking for all eternity and the X
server being grabbed). The lockups never happened when I was not using
X, though that "not using X"-phase was only for a week or so.
My /home is also a softraid encrypted volume and /tmp is an MFS, as with
your setup.
This happens with the default GENERIC.mp kernel.
