Sorry for the delay, I'm a bit swamped right now :-/

Debug work you're doing here is really impressive! But I have no idea
what's going on. It doesn't look like it's just papering over a bug (like
the in_vblank_irq check we've discussed on irc), but I also have no idea
why it works.

I'll pull in Ville, he understands this better than me.
