I must admit I also encountered such panics in my domU a few times.
Unfortunately I was too lazy to do any debugging to the day.

In my case it was reproducable when running out of disk space during
pkgsrc bulk builds, and yes, there was some network activity at there
time of crashing. I think I had nfs-mounted pkgsrc with local workdirs.
