I eventually got a kernel panic when copying large amounts of data to a 
[degraded] raid6 array, which this time was the full 600 GB size.
Don't know if it is helpful to anyone but info below:

The panic is from reiserfs, and it's occuring because the FS is
getting corrupted due to the raid6 problems.

It's still very odd to me that so far the only thing that triggers
this kind of problems is reiserfs.  Either reiserfs just has a really
odd series of access patterns, or it is relying on behaviour which
isn't actually guaranteed.  I suspect the former, but it's still odd.
