After further testing, I have determined that the BUG only occurs on my Ubuntu (2.6.27) system, and only when using the rumble function. I am unable to reproduce the BUG on my Arch (2.6.28) system, so it is either an artifact of some patch to this kernel, or it got fixed somewhere between 2.6.27 and 2.6.28. Based on this analysis, and (more importantly) an inability to reproduce the behavior on a more vanilla kernel, I have removed the comments about it from the TODO section of the driver. It isn't a true kernel bug at least with a more recent stable kernel.
