I'm sure that over-clocking can cause this problem, however when they appeared and tested the was with a clean install and nothing attached on the XO (not even a mouse). BTW me XO-1 is over-clocked for 2 years now and is going through several reboots and OSs every day under my observation. This was a first. 
Also going through os67 and then back to os11 the problem does not appear anymore (but still no neighborhood in os11).
Maybe 2 years of overclocking, several re-flashes multiple OSs, crashes, and experimenting, start getting the best of it :-)
