That was with kernel 2.4.20 and bttv 0.9.4.

Following postings from this thread, I decided to try 2.4.21 and bttv 
0.9.11.
In short: it works!

Improvements are:

1. bttv now includes definition for Nebula card, so it doesn't need 
patching.

2. the 'irq FDSR risc_pc=16d0d008' error is now masked out
   (I still get some different FBUS errors, but nowhere near as many)

However, as dvb-bt8xx still does nasty stuff with I2C, you have to 
apply the
I2C patch to bttv (I just used the bttv 0.9.4 patch which is supplied 
with
dvb-kernel).  The I2C patch is pretty trivial - it just exposes some 
functions
so dvb-bt8xx can perform some hackery.

Does anyone know how we might go about altering dvb-bt8xx?
