Sounds like something broken to me. Level-triggered interrupts need 
different handling than edge-triggered handling and so different flow 
handlers exist for them.

To make my doubts clear, this is how I'm seeing the hardware on 2412:

  edge or level triggered     level triggered
       |   ___________________   |   ________________
       |  |                   |  |  |                |
EINT0 --> | EINT0   EINT0PEND | --> | IRQ0   ARM_INT | --> to the ARM core
       |  |                   |  |  |                |
EINT1 --> | EINT1   EINT1PEND | --> | IRQ1           |
       |  |                   |  |  |                |
EINT2 --> | EINT2   EINT2PEND | --> | IRQ2           |
       |  |                   |  |  |                |
EINT3 --> | EINT3   EINT3PEND | --> | IRQ3           |
          |___________________|     |________________|

             GPIO controller       Interrupt controller

Now EINT0-EINT3 signals of the GPIO controller are directly driven with 
external interrupt signals, either edge or level triggered, but the 
interrupt status is latched in EINT0PEND-EINT3PEND bits inside the GPIO 
controller and state of those bits is exported through EINT0PEND-EINT3PEND 
signals to the interrupt controller's IRQ0-IRQ3 signals, which are now 
level-triggered, since the interrupt is active only when EINTxPEND bit is 
high.

Now, if my vision is wrong, and the hardware has simply EINT0-EINT3 pins 
routed to IRQ0-IRQ3 signals of the interrupt controller, then what you're 
saying is completely right. In this case just ignore my moaning. ;)

Best regards,
Tomasz
