Attempted to edit build.xml. Removing comment around instruction, removed the comment trailer. NB froze. Switched to another virtual desktop, and a little later NB disappeared.

I may hve had a netbeans process still lying about, which might explain the lack of specifics in the log file.
Please add a thread dump of the deadlocked netbeans. Without this I cannot do much. The logfile shows nothing suspicious.
How do I get a thread dump? Ctrl-Q? This looks like a regression. I've had the same problem before, see #63169. It had been fixed in a later build. In any case, I was trying to get some work done, so I reverted to 4.1. For the moment, I'm avoiding editing build.xml, but when I feel experimental, I'll try it again.
Ctrl + \ on linux. Ctrl + break on windows.
Problem still present in latest daily build. stty - a gives me the mapping for quit - d'uh. Next questions. What is the dump file called? core? Where will it be? I'm assuming that I will need to send a kill -QUIT to the hung process. ^\ will only work for a shell won't it?
Another d'uh moment. Run netbeans from a terminal; use keyboard quit when it hangs.
The threaddumpl is printed into the process output. Run netbeans with console, press Ctrl + \ and then copy the printed text from the console. Or you can copy the threaddump from the IDE log ${HOME}/.netbeans/dev/var/log/messages.log

Thread dump attached. Note that the thread dump does not show up in the messages.log.
Thanks for the threaddump - very helpful! The threads are locked in Ant's code => reassigning to Jesse.
