HP (Compaq) ASL is intentionally obfuscated.  This makes it a pain to 
debug.  I've noticed a lot of suspicious things.  First of all, make 
sure you're running the newest BIOS available.  If that doesn't fix 
this, try setting this tunable at the loader prompt:

set hw.acpi.serialize_methods=1

I'll continue debugging this.
