Some short but intensive testing seems to indicate that, for me, Natty kernel doesn't have this problem, which is good news.
It seems (but I didn't have a chance to test yet) that the fix might be this patch from upstream: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.38.y.git;a=commit;h=88f5acf88ae6a9778f6d25d0d5d7ec2d57764a97
I'll test this kernel more and perhaps try to apply this patch to Maverick kernel and see if it solves the problem as I suspect.
