I can work around this with my custom build of pcscd with udev disabled, but it seems that this issue will still affect Debian and Ubuntu users who install the package.
Can we mark this bug as Confirmed, since my symptoms are so similar to the descriptions in the Debian bug[1] you've linked above? Anything else I can do to help?

I can't quite connect it to any specific event on the system, it just seems to happen sporadically -- fan turns on, I run top, and there it is again. Never had this issue on same hardware incl. smartcard with trusty.
