I should add that when I tried the interrupt checking patch proposed
on this list (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2007-03/
msg00153.html) then instead of the kernel panic I got a qemu crash.
Would this happen to be the same bug as in this report:

Yes, a similar one, except that the kernel panic did somehow
mention the code I quoted above.
When using debian-40r0-sparc-DVD-1.iso on PPC, configuring network
manually and selecting the desktop option it crashed at 69%
(python-2.4?) with the following message:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
tsk->{mm,active_mm}->contect = 0000007b
tsk->{mm,active_mm}->pgd = fc054400
Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
It does not say "Illegal Instruction" and it did recognize and
repartition the harddrive.
