Something is definitely still out of whack... However, I see bttv stuff 
load up on my fully functional system also (and no bttv card in it):

I seem to recall that lirc_dev has some hooks into bttv, as does the 
tuner module. However, note that only one bttv loaded up on my box 
(0.7.104, since I never put 0.9.11 on it).

Shay, try uninstalling the ATrpms bttv 0.9.11 kernel modules, and see 
what happens... If I get bored (not likely), I'll try adding them to my 
setup to see if it breaks things. It shouldn't, since the 0.9.11 bttv 
should just supplant 0.7.104, per the directives at the top of your 
modules.conf file, but I'm not seeing what is causing both of them to 
load on your system.

Oh, and with respect to your problems installing lirc from source... 
Did you apply the i2c 2.8.0 patch?
