well ... this is not a regression actually as the bug is triggered by new code that was added in 2.6.28.
Added in 2.6.28, but from then all Agere cards will execute orinoco_dl_firmware and clear 1K of stack, regardless of whether there is firmware in /lib/firmware. I'm not certain it'll blow the stack, but the remaining download functions don't use much more so it'll be close.
Basically, I expect anyone configuring 4k stacks and using an Agere card to see the problem you saw. Which is a regression wrt 2.6.27.
