Thankyou very much for your analysis. I too had it vaguely down to
"something is wrong in the kernel" but you've gone much further than
that.

Nor do I. You could be onto something about what is configured or, for
modules, loaded though. It would explain why I am seeing the "right"
numbers and you and others are not.
It could also be related to #517108 where the "cpu numbers" are 0.

Are you getting sensible figures for these numbers in /proc/<pid>/stat?
