In the past I had a similar problem with buggy KVM/xen, when the CPU time stamp counters (TSC) were not synchronized between different host (this is not expected): For the VM the TSC jumped forward/backward and the kernel decided to wait in a busy-loop until the TSC was right again.
Migrating the VM back often solved the problem temporary, as the problem only occurred when migrating from A to B, but not from B to A. You might check that as well.

I never noticed the problem, when I started my servers at the same time. I only noticed it, when I booted the servers with (several) minutes in between, so it looked random to me at first too.

That looks new enough, so this might me a complete different problem.
So just for reference here's the link to our German Bugzilla entry, were you can find my past findings: <https://forge.univention.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23258#c6>
