Andrey:

This problem may be a result of overloading dummy_timer.  The kernel 
config you are using has CONFIG_HZ=100, but dummy-hcd needs 
CONFIG_HZ=1000 (see the comment on line 1789).  That is, lower values 
of HZ will occasionally lead to trouble, and this may be an example.

Can you change the config value for HZ and see if the bug still 
reproduces?
