I think it's an unwritten rule that only newbies hit the subtle 
problems...

No, I don't think you did anything wrong here.  Really it just should not 
be possible to oops the driver no matter what.  So we need to figure out 
what is going on.  Some info that will help:  First, I just want to be 
really sure that we're talking about a vanilla kernel here.  Second, send 
me your lsmod output (private e-mail) so I can see which module might have 
been around to touch the driver.
