Following a hint from Civileme, I have now successfully traced the problem to
the existence of hidden .directory files in the FAT32 partition to be
mounted. Each consists of four lines:
# KDE Config File
[KDE Desktop Entry]
BgIcon=
Name=
KFM will hang when asked to move into a directory if any one of the
subdirectories contains such a file. Once they are removed, KFM
navigates without hanging.
Since this behaviour is new with Oxygen, it points to one or more of the 21
patches made to kdebase-1.1.2 by MandrakeSoft since 6.1 producing this bug.
It is a show-stopper for the release of 7.0
