Hi Neil,
I very much appreciate your help debugging this.
I opened a bug against the relevant Debian kernel. Now that this is
pretty well characterised, I think it's probably best to just workaround
it (e.g. by setting speed_limit_max to 0 during the backups which were
tripping over this), until such time as the kernel can be replaced with
a more recent one...
Cheers,
Tim.
