If you came across a similar problem, please let us know - preferablly with your solution. If not, feel free to send us any thoughts or ideas that might help.
While I personally have not seen the problem yet, I've about it.
Basically, PWMs 13-16 aren't true PWMs, they're faked. If you have interupts enabled, then these are probably screwed up.

As for the solution, the best one is probably to not use PWMs 13-16. It has been mentioned in other threads.
