There was one report about a card which obviously mistook streaming
packets for selfID packets. As soon as a camera was attached and
switched on, that card generated lots of selfID-complete interrupts
with false = corrupt selfID info. I do not remember right now whether
this could be seen immediately in the syslog or only with excessive
debug enabled. (I guess something like that is logged without extra
compile options.) The only "solution" which was found for this case
was to replace the card.
