I didn't follow the discussion, but I may contribute the following information:

This message first appears in my logs on May 16. That was with kernel
version 2.6.24.5-85.fc8. The kernel I used before that was
2.6.24.4-64.fc8 (May 3). My logs go back to November 8
(2.6.23.1-42.fc8). So we can hardly consider this a regression since
2.6.25, but rather one since 2.6.24?

(I'll also note that this message appears quite infrequently here.
Only 42 times in 219 boot-ups. So it would be hard to bisect, but I'm
guessing the error was introduced somewhere between 2.6.24.4 and
2.6.24.5.)
