Oh, is there a BIOS setting for the watchdog? I don't remember seeing one.

In my case (Archlinux) this module comes with the kernel:

---
pacman -Qo ./modules/3.0-ARCH/kernel/drivers/watchdog/nv_tco.ko.gz

./modules/3.0-ARCH/kernel/drivers/watchdog/nv_tco.ko.gz is owned by linux 3.0.1-1

I just upgraded to kernel 3.0 last night, I wonder if by any chance this is fixed now. That patch you referenced looks like it could be the cause of this issue, but I'm sure this has been going on much longer than a month -- I would say more like 6 months to a year for me.
