Ok, so I've managed to get a hold of a machine which reproduces this
problem. It's a debian based system running linux 4.19, which should
confirm that this is a hardware issue.

I'll try to find some time to diagnose this later this week. My guess is
that we're just setting some mxcsr value that these CPUs don't like, and
we need to be more conservative in what we write in the tests.

I believe the rename that bug is referring to really did happen. What
you are seeing is a new test, which also uses "a" as a meaningless
identifier.

I'll do the rename right away.
