One thing from the /var/log/messages output:

    12:55:59 duke kernel: IRQ 18/cx18-0: IRQF_DISABLED is not guaranteed on shared IRQs

Which is a result of the code doing this:

             retval = request_irq(cx->pci_dev->irq, cx18_irq_handler,
                              IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_DISABLED,
                              cx->v4l2_dev.name, (void *)cx);

I'm not at the MythTV box right now, but it is likely that this IRQ
really is shared with other devices.

Does the driver *really* rely upon IRQF_DISABLED (to avoid races in the handler)?
If so, then this could be a good clue.
If not, then that IRQF_DISABLED should get nuked.

Cheers
