I could confirm the verification for Precise. Though for Oneiric unfortunately, the same ohai loops do not seem to trigger the issue. From the scheduler code it has the same race but than maybe ohai internally is slightly different back there. And it seems to be a very specific pattern of fork and setsid that results in the process getting pulled over to a different CPU right when it moves groups.
So I tend to let Oneiric pass without definite verification and possible ignore the Natty kernel (it will be out of support soon and also has the problem that we have no way to cause the crash right no).
