To add some more observations:
After running umount in the context of an "at" job, the issue nearly disappeared completely. Before this change, i already suspected power saving mechanisms to increase the probability of a freeze. Last week i had a freeze again, as the lid of my laptop has been closed during the backup. Turning the display off via DPMS appears to have a similar effect.

Maybe the "at" assumption has been wrong and the issue is more related
to the graphics subystem. It would, at least to a certain degree,
explain why i never was able to reproduce it by running the script
manually. At the other hand, i remember cases in which i had been
working and at the end of the backup, the system stopped responding.
This might be a red herring again ...

Title:
  Umount of Multiple LVM Snapshots Causes  'soft lockup CPU#0 stuck for'

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Simultaneous umount of multiple lvm snapshots causes system to hang /
  freeze / deadlock.  Window manager freezes.  If umount is executed in
  a non window-manager tty,  messages containing "BUG", "blocked for
  more than xx seconds", and a list of tasks associated with each of the
  8 cpu cores will scroll up at regular intervals.  The tasks assigned
  to each cpu core are unchanging over time, appearing to be deadlocked.
  No relevant information is left in system logs.  Hard reset / poweroff
  is required.  Problem does not occur 100% of the time.  It is less
  likely to occur if umount is done shortly after mount.  Problem still
  occurs -- but less frequently -- if lazy umount -l is used.  Snapshots
  are read-only, and are mounted read-only.
