Documented, eh?  I had an A500 doing this once.  It turned out to be a
bad CIA (8520?).  Try swapping the two CIA's and see if the problem goes
away/changes.  When it happened to me, I asked the 'NET, and someone
said that the workbench uses some "beam sync'ed blits" which use a timer
in one of the CIA's.  Sorta made sense.  Give it a try.
