Dear Holger, I have resolved the problem: it was a (rarely occurring?) rounding bug in \pgfmathdivide. I have just committed the bugfix to pgf CVS.
Its very good that this has been found, so thanks again for reporting it. If you rely on this feature, and you do not have access to a recent pgf version (in this case, pgf CVS of April 23, 2011 or newer), I can supply a bugfix which can be activated by means of something like \usepackage{bugfixpgf}. If you have access to a pgf developer version, it suffices to upgrade pgf and the plot will look as expected.
