Thanks, Helmut, for the info. In the end, I contacted Alexey Dobriyan who introduced the bug ;) and now fixed it with the kernel patch that follows. It applies cleanly at least against 2.6.23-rc5.
The patch was just posted to LKML by A. Dobriyan:

Thanks to him, and Taneli for taking care about this issue.
