Is the hardware the same?  ACPI being used?  APIC being used?
How about doing something that shares interrupts simultaneously,
like copying mass amounts of data to/from a USB hard disk via
USB 2.0 (hence using usb) while copying data over NFS (hence using
em)?

I could only get the problem to happen when there was both intense
network usage **and** intense disk I/O (ata and em shared an
interrupt in my case).
