Hi,

I'm not sure if this will be helpful, but with HP machines they added a 
BIOS option called the "Linux HPET Option" that works around this issue. 
It could be that Lenovo has something similar. You can read about how HP 
handled this here:

"...these messages occur because the kernel ignores the ACPI timer 
override for the system timer..."

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c00781084

I don't know if this is considered an OS bug per-se.
