I have no other idea than upgrade your kernel to 2.6 (e.g. 2.6.8.1).
This might not solve your problem, but as it looks like a low-level
problem I think it's a safe bet. I'm using the same libs as you and
don't have this bug.

Just in case, make sure you don't use cables longer than 4.5m. Some
vendors pretend that you can use longer cables with 400Mbps but it is
not always true.

At last, although I have not used this camera before, a lot of Sony
cameras passed in my hands and none showed this problem. Therefore I
doubt it's a bug in the camera.
