I am not sure exactly why this is happening, but i am inclined to think that it has something to do with timer interrupts within the m0. What i would expect at this point is for the interrupt to trigger again on a falling edge but because the prevtriggered flag is set, it would only update the clkedgerise flag. Check the interrupt flag bits in the intcon register at the beginning of the interrupt service routine to determine what source of the interrupt.
