Ok, I'm out of ideas.

Since I can't reproduce it on ordinary x86, can you try
to reproduce the bug in one of Rob's Aboriginal Linux
prebuilt qemu virtual machines? He has a number of arches
supported, maybe yours is in that set.

You can found Aboriginal Linux here:

If you will have the bug reproduced in a qemu virtual box, then I
will be able to do the same, and work on tyhe bug locally.
