Yeah, from the frequency and the kind of failures, I actually don't think it's a kernel bug anymore. So I'd also suspect something like that bits on memory bus start to flip when the disk is loaded or something like that. If you say compilation on tmpfs is fine - can you try compiling kernel in tmpfs in a loop and then after it is running smoothly for a while start to load the disk by copying a lot of data there?
