Now that you're talking about it:  I also
experienced some of those 
strange problems, and on my box i still get
stray ints (11 I think) 
when switching virtual consoles or pressing any
*lock key (!?).

It basically means:  something fishy is
happening, DragonFly/FreeBSD 
did notice that, continued working, but told
you.  Maybe we can add a 
sysctl which rate-limits those messages to a
reasonable amount?

FreeBSD (4.9+ at least) quashes them after the
first dozen or so. But I still don't get why ints
are getting generated when no device on that irq
has been enabled.
Matt explained it all in an earlier post:
