I don't know what would have caused this. Was 2.6.18-rc1-mm2 OK?

I have not tried that combination.

Patches which touch arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c are:

x86_64-mm-i386-up-generic-arch.patch
x86_64-mm-i386-io-apic-access.patch
genirq-convert-the-i386-architecture-to-irq-chips.patch
initial-generic-hypertransport-interrupt-support.patch
genirq-i386-irq-remove-the-msi-assumption-that-irq-==-vector.patch
genirq-i386-irq-move-msi-message-composition-into-io_apicc.patch
genirq-i386-irq-dynamic-irq-support.patch

The developers of those patches are cc'ed.

A bisection search would be useful, if you have the time. I'd zero in on
the x86_64 tree initially. Perhaps x86_64-mm-i386-io-apic-access.patch.

Or it could be something else altogether.

The machine in question is at the office so I won't be able
to test that particular setup this weekend. I will test removing
the listed patches as time permits starting on Monday.

It happens every time so there is no problem in reproducing it.
I will also test 2.6.18-rc2-mm1 on my home machine which
is AMDx2 as well (but a different chipset/MB).
