At least it's easy to duplicate, and another possible cause is ruled out.

Do you do anything special with ext2fs or have a special configuration?

It should be easy to turn off the selwakeuppri() chnages by editing a
line or two of selwakeuppri().  From sys_generic.c:

% /* Wake up a selecting thread. */
% void
% selwakeup(sip)
% 	struct selinfo *sip;
% {
% 	doselwakeup(sip, -1);
% }
%
% /* Wake up a selecting thread, and set its priority. */
% void
% selwakeuppri(sip, pri)
% 	struct selinfo *sip;
% 	int pri;
% {
% 	doselwakeup(sip, pri);
% }

Just change the last `pri' to -1.
