I double checked my BIOS and it's at latest version. Based on what I've seen, I feel a bit hopeless trying to reach out to Creative Labs about this. Do you think that would be a worthwhile endeavor?

OK.  Could you show the lspci -nv output, too?  Usually some pcie
hotplug driver (either pcieport, shpchp, acpiphp, etc) should be bound
to a PCI bridge device.  Check the kernel message.  You might see
something related there...
