Ok, so it sounds like the regression does eventually happen with 3.13 Final. We should probably test some earlier kernels to find the last kernel version where the regression did not happen. Can you test the following kernels and see which one does not hit the regression? It will probably require that you test the same amount of time that it took to hit the issue in 3.13 final:
