The oopses are identical across all the boxes, AFAIK. Essentially,
any box that we've tried rolling out this new kickstart profile onto
(which includes the NIS client and autofs client functionality) has
this problem. We're doing a limited rollout right now (about 10 boxes
out of our 100+ set) to protect ourselves.

I will turn off autofs and use manual mounts for 24 hours and report
back with the results.

As I'm certain you can understand, with these constant oopses, we're
being paged all hours of the day and night to manually reboot our
systems, and it's driving us crazy and holding product rollouts back
while we try to debug the problem.

No keyboard plugged in at all.
