I just retested with the multipath-tools version '0.4.9-3ubuntu5+lp1032250dbg1', on 2 systems simulatiously. The test consisted of repeatedly shutting down the fibre port in the switch for one of the paths. One system survived (see syslog.test2.survived.gz), one system did not (syslog.test2.broken.gz). The crashdump stuff was installled and panic_on_oops set to '1', but there were no kernel 'BUG' or 'OOPS'-en going on this time... The 'failed to get sysfs information' error is gone, however. It might have been replaced with the following though:
