I assume you tried this?

I would also (selfishly) be interested in whether the kernel from sid
behaves any differently.  The only packages from outside squeeze one
would need in order to test are the kernel image itself,
initramfs-tools, and linux-base.  If it is reproducible with a 3.1.y
kernel, we can try pursuing this upstream, and if not, we can try to
look for the patch that fixed it.

Sincerely,
Jonathan
