I've replicated this by doing the following:
# dd if=/lib/modules/2.6.28-14-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko
of=/lib/modules/2.6.28-14-generic/updates/broken.ko bs=1 count=761
# depmod
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) depmod
The good news is that the ELF rewrite in 3.10 seems to fix this:
# ./build/depmod
WARNING: Couldn't find symtab and strtab in module
/lib/modules/2.6.28-14-generic/updates/broken.ko
