I can't tell you if the interrupt is happening too early or not,
although code could be added to check this.
I can tell you that this has been noticed by more than one person.
I noticed this and so did the person at MontaVista that contributed
the cross-platform reading code (to enable traces to be read accross
different endian machines).
If you really want to see what I mean I could forward you a textual
trace sample to proove my point.
The latest kernel I've tested this on is 2.4.0-test10.
