Dear Karl, thank you for reporting the problem. no, it is not known issue. moreover, I doubt it is related to real hardware interrupts, soft-interrupts handles delayed procedures like processing of network packets.
For troubleshooting is to look at stack of affected running processes via /proc/<pid>/stack alternatively you can use magic sysrq key # echo l > /proc/sysrq-trigger it should dump current state of all running processors. you can do it few times to monitor state of affected processes.
