I can't reproduce this. Do you have a .config or some other hint?

Can you also give me the contents of
/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource and
the output from 'dmesg |grep -i hpet'? And is this in a VM or on a
native boot?

My best guess is that you have a particularly buggy hpet.
