no, I don't see what would cause that. Was there no call trace?

Here is a call trace (it was in the first email).

Call Trace:

It's always possible that some random part of the kernel has
gone and leaked a preempt_count.

BUG_ON is an obnoxious thing - please prefer to use WARN_ON in non-fatal
situations. Particularly when the assertions aren't tested ;)
