I've a cheap SPIRIT modem on cua2 irq5 and it was doing the same thing,
except less frequently.  The problem seems to have disappeared after
I moved the 'setserial' bit into the very end of startup sequence.
Run 'setserial /dev/cua2' after bootup & see if it reports the correct
irq. 

Hope that helps.
