After a lot of rebooting and testing the problem is definitely gone when this check is patched out and the ACPI timer override is ignored. It looks like there should be a cleaner patch than just obliterating the condition and return though. Perhaps the code should remain as is and "acpi_use_timer_override" could be complimented by exposing the "acpi_skip_timer_override" option to the kernel command line?
