You did everything right, alas the data was corrupted in the log files
before you even saw it.  klogd tries to converts oops itself and far to
often it gets it wrong, yielding gibberish.  Edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog
(assuming you use SysV init), change
  daemon klogd
to
  daemon klogd -x
then /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog restart.  Any new oops will be left alone
so you will have clean data to feed to ksymoops.  When you get a clean
oops, feed it to ksymoops and mail the result to linux-kernel.
