It seems I was bit hasty in claiming that upgrading VDR to 2.1.6 would fix the EPG issues.
While the "state changed" messages are gone, syslog is filled with lines stating
VNSI: Trigger EPG update for channel XYZ
Syslog clip here:

The EPG triggers seem to occur every 10 seconds, one line for each channel in the channel list.
.
VDR seems to die semi frequently as well, not sure if that is related. I still have the debug lines in the VNSI module:

The same VNSI EPG trigger update seem to affect also others:

Please let me know if I can help in debuggin this further.
