And, I believe this is no regression but a long-standing problem.
It hits just occasionally by an app like pulseauiod which loves
tight races.

I guess it depends on how you define a regression. From my POV it worked
in all three cases on .32, its failing in .33-rc and in one case is oppsing. In
my books thats a regression. There may have been races in .32 but they
did not trigger lockdep and never oppsed.

In any case, the real question is how do we fix the problem?

Is the kernel config really identical? Is only the kernel replaced?

I haven't followed em28xx development, so it's possible that the bug
came from that side, though. But, in the PCM core, there is no
fundamental change that may trigger this bug during 2.6.33
development.

As I mentioned, replace the mutex in em28xx code.
