i'm sure that the stock Apple support answer would be to backup, reformat and restore. This would probably have fixed his problem since the backtrace he finally Obtained fingered the file system, which is probably corrupt. (not that this excuses the panic!) This is further evidenced by his "helpdesk" being unable to repair his computer by physically swapping drives.

Yes, this is a good theory, and consistent with the decoded stack trace we have. Although, consider that three other coworkers are suffering the same panics after upgrading to 10.9.3. Have we all got the same corruption? I suppose that could be possible, if the corruption was caused by the same bug.
