This could be udevd running in parallel and doing stuff..
Could you
# rpmbuild --rebuild ftp://people.redhat.com/harald/udev/udev-075-5.src.rpm
install the rpm and reboot?
This udev version has a patch, which waits until udevd has finished 
replaying the uevents. So we can debug it a little better.
