hallo,
i am not sure if it has anything to do with your issue, but as you say, 
it happens only when you start jackd with -Xseq, it could be that this 
is the root of the problem. i discovered a trouble in ardour, when 
running jackd with -Xseq explicitly. you may have a look here:

http://tracker.ardour.org/view.php?id=2497

in this case, the issue for me is reproducible  very easy, but only if 
running with -Xseq.
ardour2.7.1, jackd0.116.1, alsa1.0.17, Linux 2.6.25.4-rt5 #2 PREEMPT RT

know that this does not save your problem, but perhaps it is interesting.

cheers,
