One thing I see on the scope is that when there is a CPU load there appears to be some clock stretching going on (SCL is held low some times). I don't see it without the CPU load. It's hard to correlate a clock stretching event with a bad read or error but it is one area where the SMBUS spec has a maximum that might cause the device to give up waiting.
