Say

set debug.acpi.disable="timer"

in the bootloader and see if you still get this. I've already got one 
report of system time going twice as fast as it should; I'm unsure what's 
going on here (I don't grok the timecounter code as well as I should, I 
think)...

You could also try building a kernel with CLK_CALIBRATION_LOOP defined
and then booting with -v (without the timer disabled).  This might be 
instructive (I don't know for certain that it'll calibrate the ACPI 
timer, since it may not have been probed yet).

Thanks!
