The VT switch problem only occurred on DRI-using setups.  What you could try
to do to confirm is to ssh into the machine after it has crashed when you
switched to a VT and do a lspci -vv.  If the Radeon has a "BusMaster-" flag
instead of "BusMaster+" and your X is using DRI, it is this specific VT
switch lockup.
