Ok, some more observations before I throw this box out the window:
So, we emulate RTC there with HPET:
$ cat /proc/driver/rtc
rtc_time : 21:06:48
rtc_date : 2013-07-19
alrm_time : 20:59:59
alrm_date : 2013-07-20
alarm_IRQ : no
alrm_pending : no
update IRQ enabled : no
periodic IRQ enabled : no
periodic IRQ frequency : 1024
max user IRQ frequency : 64
24hr : yes
periodic_IRQ : no
update_IRQ : no
HPET_emulated : yes
BCD : yes
DST_enable : no
periodic_freq : 1024
batt_status : okay
Now I added a bit debugging printks:

[ 11.239960] rtc_cmos_read: addr: 0xc, val: 0x50
[ 11.245360] rtc_cmos_write: addr: 0xb, val: 0x22
This is where we enable the RTC alarm irq.

[ 11.298168] hpet1: lost 1 rtc interrupts
And right when we read it out, we get an RTC irq (hpet_rtc_interrupt on
comparator 1) and we keep incrementing the comparator until we're ahead
of the hpet counter.
Normally we'll do it only once and not have lost interrupts but it
happens here.
And the strange thing is that it happens right after we read
RTC_CONTROL, i.e. 0xb, where the alarm irq bit resides. Coincidence...?
Hmm, I don't know what to make of it... Anyway, TGIF!
Thanks for listening. :)
