Did you look at the resulting output on a scope ? I'm curious what
might be wrong.... 

CCing Ryan from Aspeed, he might have some idea.

Could it be that with some specific dividers you have more jitter ?
Still, i2c devices tend to be rather robust vs crappy clocks unless you
are massively out of bounds, which makes me wonder whether something
else might be wrong in your setup.
