This looks like the work-around used for the ec2 kernels. So it sounds like the 
same problem can in fact happen on real hardware (which was not really clear). 
That, the fact that it is clearly only papering over some other issue and no 
reports about this happening on other kernels prevented any action on later 
kernels.
I think this report should be a good place, we just need another task for the 
"normal" kernel package. Probably the real fix could be to not mark the 
sched_clock as stable as it was brought up in that upstream discussion. Though 
obviously the 219 day delay makes it hard to verify.
But before that I would like to make sure the second part is actually needed. 
Your report for Maverick was using a 2.6.35-24 kernel and the patch above came 
in much later (2.6.35-29, sorry the 2.6.38 in my last comment was a mistype).
