OK there are results of some low-level gdb kung-fu:

problem point is:
            /*
             * Write the stats file if a new request has arrived that is not
             * satisfied by existing file.
             */
            if (last_statwrite < last_statrequest)
                pgstat_write_statsfile(false);

on some loop iteration difference between last_statrequest and
last_statwrite is around 23000-29000 (e.g. 20-30ms).

Hm may be there some clock drift between CPU cores?

Kind Regards,
Maksym
