I have to give a "me too" on this.  revision 192758 (previous, and
currently running kernel) works, but 193636 (latest svn up) freezes.

G4 MDD 1.25GHz, no WITNESS, apple pro USB keyboard.  Not sure about
moving the mouse, because I run SLiM for the login manager which
disables the mouse cursor, but I'll assume it's the same behavior
you're seeing -- machine completely freezes with any keyboard
activity.
