Following up on this I hit another in rt.c which looks like:
[ 156.348854] Call Trace:

It looks like the same issue of not using the rq_lock* wrappers and
hence not using the pinning. From looking at the code there is at
least one potential hit in deadline.c in the push_dl_task path with
find_lock_later_rq but I have not hit that in practice.
This commit, which introduced the warning, seems to imply that the use
of the rq_lock* wrappers is required, at least for any sections that will
call update_rq_clock:

sched/core: Add WARNING for multiple update_rq_clock() calls
Now that we have no missing calls, add a warning to find multiple
calls.
By having only a single update_rq_clock() call per rq-lock section,
the section appears 'atomic' wrt time.
Is that the case? Otherwise we have these false positives.
I can spin up patches if so.
Thanks,
Phil
