Okay, I tested your current locking-branch.

Changing PCMCIA-Cards works flawlessly. However:

1) Insert a PCMCIA-network-card (I have two, doesn't matter which)
2) Remove it again
3) Insert a CardBus-Wireless card (Netgear WG511 in my case)

gives me a hard lockup! Nothing is printed, keyboard and mouse are dead.
Powercycling is the only option, then. I don't have any other cardbus-cards at
the moment, but might get some next week. Maybe this gives some more insight to
the pattern...

Note, that the CardBus card works fine if I tried the above steps with a
CF-card instead of a network-card. It is also working if it is the first card
inserted after a reboot.

Let me know if I can provide more information.

Regards,
