Ok, I have found it. My kernel still had the apm line from its GENERIC
days, which didn't hurt me before:

device          apm0    at nexus? disable flags 0x31 # Advanced Power Management

It seems that the disable keyword is ignored, because the apm0 device
suddenly appeared in the probe messages and that set statclock_disable to 1.
I have removed apm from my kernel config file and all is well again.
