I think this is due to missing a part of the Barrett Reduction algorithm:

Input: degree-127 polynomial R(x), degree-64 polynomial P(x), µ = floor(x^128 / P(x))
Output: C(x) = R(x) mod P(x)
Step 1: T1(x) = clmul(floor(R(x)/x^64)), µ)
Step 2: T2(x) = clmul(floor(T1(x)/x^64)), P(x))
Step 3: C(x) = R(x) ^ T2(x) mod x^64

I think you missed the floor division by x^64 in steps 1 and 2 entirely. Example: floor(x^128 + x^64 + x^16 + 1/x^32) = floor(0b11010001 / 0b100000) = x^4 + x^2 = 0b110. The remainder is 0b10001, which is required in step 3. In other words, simply right-shift by log2(32) = 5. In all these steps, it would simply be a right-shift by CRCBW.
