Just had it occur for the second time, two weeks after the first time. Unlike the first time, this time the mouse cursor did move (while everything else was frozen), but the system did not recover, and I had to ssh into the machine (which was possible, confirming that it's just the display that's broken) and reboot it. I'm also on Haswell, fwiw.
The stack trace is slightly different than before:
