FYI. Looking at David McBride's comments to this bug report, particularly #30, and checking the current kernel source package for Ubuntu 10.04 it appears that patch identified in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16056 (comments 17&18) has not been back ported to the 2.6.32 kernel. I have a high confidence that this would fix the issue I've been having as it always appears to be kswapd that is blocked first.
