Anyway, the failure is in the vm_fault_quick() call which is one line before the pmap_*extract() line that was changed in rev.1.104. (I have some debugging code that traps if the i386 fubyte() fails, but fubyte() fails so rarely that I had forgotten about it. It didn't trap back in Jan/Feb, but I may have been running a plain current kernel without the debugging code.)
