Ok now with your config I can reproduce. Without context tracking
force (fallback to tick) I get a ratio of 1 / 8, with context tracking
force (vtime) I get 2 / 7.

I have set some cputime tracepoint and looked at the stacktrace. They
are sorted by weight, which is the amount of cputime accounted. I
can't find anything wrong on these. See attachment.
