RU seems the latest. Flashed bios as per your nicely detailed instructions. No improvement in condition, alas.

Err. "300(66)" probably won't help too much. The cpu's are multiplier locked (love that one, Intel); so will run at 7 * 66 (466) when set to chip defaults - which I currently am - to rule out flaky / stressed hardware.
Temperatures are a nice frosty 30 deg C across all the temperature sensors lm_sensors offers; and the thermal probe I have dangling in the psu exhaust :) [this is with two rc5des clients running - loadavg of 2 - btw]
Back to the original topic, I've done some more 'research'; and I'm not _certain_ of my findings, but there's a few coincidences here...
I think I'll make a more general post to lkml direct in a minute.
