possible fix

That is correct.  I suspect it's the pll that's problematic:
if (ss_enabled) {
        if (ss->refdiv) {
                pll->flags |= RADEON_PLL_USE_REF_DIV;
                pll->reference_div = ss->refdiv;
        }
}

It uses a fixed reference divider of 2 in your case.  Does the attached patch
help?  Please also try this patch in conjunction with the patch in comment 1.
