I never saw it before using 2.6.30 and haven't been able to reproduce
it even running 2.6.30.  

So it could be a regression.  Or it could be a recurring problem (I had
a few X lockups with earlier kernels) now exposed by a blocked-task
timer (the "INFO: task events/0:9 blocked for more than 120 seconds"
message) -- if that notification code is new in 2.6.30?
