And your /etc/sysctl.conf where you set this value? If it's not set by you, it
may be set by /etc/rc.d/power_profile based on your /etc/rc.conf.
Try to get the 'untainted' output of `sysctl hw.acpi':
0) reboot into single user
1) # fsck -p /
2) # mount -u /
3) # sysctl hw.acpi >/tmp/acpi.sysctl
4) # exit
Then post /tmp/acpi.sysctl. My guess is no Cx values are obtained from the
acpi, not even C1 (which is "normal operation" mode). This may or may not be
related to your failing high precision timer.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.
