This text you are seeing in probably the crash dump of the failure, could you try to take a picture of the screen so we can check if there is some useful information there. Also if the kernel doesn't panic instantly you could check if there is some issue in the kernel log after pairing and save it somewhere so we can take a look. Use the 3.8 kernel.
