hm. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.17/2.6.17-mm6/broken-out/lockdep-annotate-8390c-disable_irq.patch didn't work.

We've seen this reported a couple of times before. It could be a race in the tty layer where a newly-added vc has the same index as a going-away one which still has its sysfs file. Or it could be something else :(
Once someone comes up with a way to reproduce it, we'll fix it though.
