Looks like a minor bug in the ACPI disassembler for me.

Could you explain why your DSDT is broken and what kind of bug you like to fix. To workaround ACPICA or DSDT bugs by simply overriding it is not a good idea as others might also slip into this. If possible, let's better try to find a general solution in the kernel/ACPICA code...
