That looks similar to the WARNING discussed in [1].
There was no resolution to that thread. However, [2] points out
possible other occurrences of the problem in 2.6.27, 28 and 29.

Thanks for the information.
So I'll drop this from the list, since it most probably is not a recent thing.

The patch for this one was sent from Linville to DaveM earlier today,
and should be sent to mainline in the near future.
AFAIK, the OP has not yet tested the patch, but I think I was able to
reproduce the problem, and the patch did fit it for me.
