It's not a USB problem. I disconnected the USB hub and the corruption
remained. However, the backtrace was preceded by
[   32.778070] snd_hda_codec_hdmi hdaudioC0D0: HDMI: pin nid 4 not registered

After making sure snd_hda_codec_hdmi did not get loaded during boot I've
not experienced the issue anymore. Of course I've only tried this a few
times so far, but it looks promising.
Anyway thanks for taking a look, I'll probably follow up on this with
the sound folks.
