I suspect it's a system where the APIC timer stops in deeper idle
states and it supports them. In this case CPU #0 does timer broadcasts
when needed to wake the other CPUs up from deep C, but for that it has
to run with HPET. At least the other ones can still enjoy the LAPIC
timer.
This might suggest that Mark's floppy controller doesn't like
deep C? Mark, did you try booting with processor.max_cstate=1
and HPET enabled?
