I certainly don't have any answers for you.  I think it merits a bug
report against the kernel (assuming it actually 'crashes', not just
hangs X or what have you)

I would do the following first though -

Does it happen if you disable wireless before you dock it?
Does it happen if you use nv instead of the nvidia drivers? ( I bet
they ignore your report unless you tell them it happens with nv
running too )
Does it happen if X isn't running when you dock it?

Narrowing things down a bit would likely help track it down.  My guess
is it's related to your nVidia drivers - but I have absolutely no
proof of that.
