I'm wondering if its when the stv0299 is initialised.... this sounds unlikely 
to me, but you never know. If you still have the prefreactoring drivers about 
(and can be bothered)....

Could you try disabling any autoloading of DVB modules, power down the 
machine, power it up, load skystar2 and let it initialise and THEN load the 
stv0299 driver.

Also, could you try loading stv0299 and then loading the skystar2 driver as 
well, just in case.

I'll have another trawl through the source.
