Yes, there are many reports about this lockup.
Original one is here:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523326#c24

I don't think it 3.18 specific and Gentoo and Arch are definitely also
applying the patch to broadcom-sta for all kernel versions.

See:
-
https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/net-wireless/broadcom-sta/files/broadcom-sta-6.30.223.248-r3-linux-3.15-3.18.patch?view=markup
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/broadcom-wl-dkms/ (in
linux-recent.patch)

I could reproduce this bug all the time when I didn't had the patch applied.
At the moment I am running 3.19 with the patch applied and I don't see
any side effects :).

For me I could always reproduce the lock up by:
 - Starting a heavy download
 - Disconnecting the WiFi through NetworkManager or going to suspend
