The numactl interleaving just causes memory to be allocated from all
nodes on a round-robin basis, I don't think that would cause this, other
than mongod simply using a whole lot of memory.

so, the custom kernel actually bypasses the BUG() call, and logs debug
instead - have you checked your logs to see if there are any relevant
messages?  You would see output like:

page_zone(start_page) !=page_zone(end_page)

and more debug following it; you can search/grep the logs for
"move_freepages".
