The RH bug is probably not related.

So I have a few questions.  If you put the NIC back into the working system 
(Harpertown I think and not hypertown), does it work again?  Are you using the 
same SFP+ module in both the working system and the one that is failing?  Since 
you are getting system messages about interrupt problems ("PCI INT B disabled") 
it is most likely related to system BIOS problems.  Have you upgraded to the 
latest BIOS for the HP system?  Please check this as if interrupt are not being 
routed to and from the NIC, you can get all kinds of strange errors.

Cheers,
John
