After some searching I found one of those rare serial port brackets
in the attic, so I am now able to get a dump from the serial console.
Here's the output with the patch applied:

I've replaced the Intel e1000 card with a bulk Realtek 8139 card just to make
sure it's not related to the e1000 driver. Here's the backtrace:

I can't trigger the bug by force if I boot the system with mem=512m.
Anything I could try?
