My results so far:

I suspect the gnome-power-manager of changing the cpufreq governor.
I had the ac power cpufreq governor setting set to "nothing", while another user had it set to "ondemand". The change of cpufreq governor seemed related to the other user using the computer.

I have now set the cpufreq governor setting to "nothing" in the mandatory gconf preferences. I'll monitor whether the problem still exists.

If not this would mean there is a conflict between powernowd and gnome-power-manager. The powernowd package might have to set the mandatory settings mentioned above (and remove them when uninstalled...)
