I found through the ps -aux command, there was what looked like a konq process hung. There were several other processes for user that should not have been running, probably from when I removed the display, keyboard, and mouse last week. I rebooted to clear out all the extraneous processes and that fixed it. The machine has no other operating systems on it and was not trying to mount any foreign file systems.
You're not the first person to find a process hung on a high-priority wait with concommitant stalls is various other processes. It's not ever supposed to happen (high-priority waits are supposed to be used strictly for events that will occur soon--as in less than a second hence), so it's clearly a kernel or file-system bug of some sort. More than that, I don't know.
